Assigning Instances

[yellowcard]

How do I assign an instance to a sound clip that is in the library, but not on the actual stage or in a frame anywhere?

By a sound clip do you mean a movieclip with sounds in it, or an actual sound file? For a movieclip you use attachMovie, for a sound you use attachSound (simple huh?). Sounds don't have 'instance names' int he same way movieclips do however. And for both you will need to set up linkage in the library appropriately. See the attachMovie tutorial which, if nothing else, will show you how to set up linkage.
