Flash Doesnt want to dispatchEvent weird error

Hi Everyone

  I'm having some problem dispatching events between classes. I'm working on this wesite with a presentation so to avoid getting errors for adding event listeners to objects that are not on stage i dispatch an event to the document class to let it know when the buttons are available but when i try to make the document class dispatch an event to the sound class to start the background music, it gives me this error:

Error: Error #2136: The SWF file file:////Volumes/Macintosh%20HD/Users/ross/Adobe%20Flash%20Projects/adva... contains invalid data.
    at CISound()
    at CI()

 

 I've google the error, check out dispatchEvent tutorials cause I've been off AS3 for a while (Learning PHP) but i haven't found anything helpful.

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

FLA File:

stop();

dispatchEvent(new Event(BUTTONS_DOWN));
