Actionscript 3 sound on mouse roll_over

[dpcdpc11]

hi... i've been experimenting with some buttons in AS3 and sounds... actually the buttons are movie clips and i'm trying to attach a sound to the ROLL_OVER action...
i used this code:

var buttonSound:Sound = new Sound();
var buttonSoundControl:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();

buttonSound.load(new URLRequest("buttonsound.mp3"));

button_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, RollOverListener);

function RollOverListener(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop(2)
    e.currentTarget.buttonMode = true;
    buttonSoundControl = buttonSound.play();
    e.currentTarget.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, ClickListener);
}

so this code works.. but it loads the sound externally... and after a few minutes of browsing through the website the roll_over sound becomes laggy... i'm guessing it's because it loads over and over in the memory when hovering the buttons.. btw here is the website so you can try it for yourself: my testing site

my idea is to attach the sound to the swf file... i know that in AS2 there was a function attachSound() but this one is missing in AS3 and has now equivalent...
so if someone could help me on this one i would be really greateful!!

thanks in advanced!

Hi,
if you mean the menu buttons bottom page, they seem to work fine.

Otherwise, read this tut:
Library Sounds with Flash CS3

Also, try MOUSE_OVER instead of ROLL_OVER.

thanks for the tip man... i know this is the easy way to embed content into flash, using linkage... but this method works only using the flash authoring tool... is there a method which can be used in Flex??
and could you explain why MOUSE_OVER would work better than ROLL_OVER??
