Playing Sound file

[jovan40]

I have a movieclip that has a layer with an imported sound file. I am trying to have that MC play when a button in another MC is pressed. I have as the code in the button:
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay ("name of sound file"
}

When running the entire swf, nothing happens, what am I doing wrong?

From within another MC...

on (press) {
_root.thatMCinstance's_name.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

Or...

on (press) {
_root.thatMCinstance's_name.gotoAndPlay("label"
}

Regards,
