When you import an audio file into the stack as a control you need to use: play audioClip "the name of your imported sound”, as the imported file becomes an audio clip. The dictionary is somewhat confusing when it comes to support for audio clips om mobile platforms. If you look at audioClip as object, the dictionary states that it is not supported on mobile platforms, but the messages deleteAudioClip and newAudioClip seems to be supported, as is the keyword templateAudioClip.
In my opinion it is always best to use external files for audio and video, and store them in a designated folder where you have write permissions. This makes it easier to update these resources without the need to update the whole application.
