First of all let's get some buttons to make experements on. You can find plenty of flash buttons in the "Common Library".

Select the one you like, simply drag and drop it to the scene.

Now let's edit it (use right click and select proper otion). In the flash button editing area you will see 4 frames which correspond to 4 different states of button. They are UP (mouse up on button), Over(mouse is over the button), Down(left mouse is pressed on the button), Hit (hit of mouse - left button is released).

Let's get a new layer to add our sound effect. For example, we want to add some crazy sound effect when the mouse is over the button. Now let's insert a separate frame for 'Over' button state.

Now we import sound to the flash library (File => Import) Ctrl+L to enter Flash Library.

Then, in the library panel you will find the sound file.

Now we are going to isert a new symbol.

...and name it like mc_btn-sound, don't forget to define it as a movie clip.

Choose the sound in the property panel and set loop to 1 time.

Let's get back to the scene and select second frame of our sound layer.

Open Library, drag and drop movie clip mc_btn-sound to the second frame.

That's it, now it should work fine. Publish the movie to test it!
