Playing external sound files

To play external sound files that aren't cast members:

Use the sound playFile command. See sound playFile.

Playing external sound files from disk minimizes the amount of RAM used to play sounds. However, since the computer can read only one item from disk at a time, loading cast members or playing more than one sound from disk can cause unacceptable pauses when you use the sound playFile command.
