Help on actionscript, newb question

[Into The Blue]

Ive got a question, i cant import a song that is mp3 format into one of my
flash animations. I try to import it, and it gets cut off a few seconds after
it begins to play. the song is 1:10 minutes long. I dont think im doing
anything wrong when im importing it, so heres the code i have on the first
frame in my animation. I am a newb to flash, so try not to stick it to me too
harshly =D



firstSound=new Sound();
firstSound.attachSound("firstSound01");
firstSound.start(0,999);

Try these things. Not sure if they will help, but give them a go anyway :)

1) Try with a different mp3 file. DOes it happen here too? If not, its
probably the file. Perhaps flash is using a different codec for playback??
2) Is this the only code in the swf file? ARe you perhaps using the variable
'firstSound' again later on and overwriting the original sound?
3) Do you have a stop() command to halt the swf? If not, your swf may be
looping and running the code again, and this may be doing something strange.
Try palcing a stop(); command on the last frame of your main clip.

Hope it helps or at least points you in the right direction,
