sound object not working in _root movie

[tilotama]

I have a movie called MovSound. The movie 'MovSound.swf' contains a movieclip called Mov which is the container/target for another movie called Sound.swf. i.e, Sound.swf will be called into the movie MovSound.swf via the following script:

loadMovie ("Sound.swf", "Mov"

Sound.swf contains a sound object with the identifier Sound1, and called into the movie thru the following script:

firstSound = new Sound();
firstSound.attachSound("Sound1"
firstSound.start(0,999);

this script worked fine when Sound.swf was played on its own, however when i tried to play it in movie MovSound, the animations worked(movie loaded into main movie), but the audio effects just wouldnt.
i know that it had something to do with the sound object's path(_root.Mov.Sound1(?)). i have tried without success
can anyone help?

Although MM says the parameter is optional, try adding this to your soundObject definition:

firstSound = new Sound(this);
...

Usually works!
