Make sure your images,sounds, are in your projects folder. The folder you save your project to when you save your project.

Then its just.
load image "Image_name_here.bmp",1
load sound "Sound_name_here.wave",1

The number at the end assigns an Id to the sound or imageso now to play a sound you would say.

Play sound 1
To make your image a sprite so you can move it etc..
sprite 1,xpos,ypos,1
The first 1 is your sprite number the last 1 is the image to use to make the sprite.

Oh and what ways have you tried loading the images and sounds ?
IF you look up sound or image in the help files there will be loads of commands to use

Try this:
Step 1- click the 'add' button in the media panel
Step 2- click the 'copy the media files into current project directory' check box
Step 3- type

If this doesn't work I don't know what else will.

if your problem is dealing with folders, then DB wont find the media type automatically.

Suppose you want to load a music file that is in a folder beyond your program so like the music file's address is like this
C/Program Files/mygame/music/song.mp3

And your program will go here
C/Program Files/mygame/game.exe

make sure in the load music commands you have this code

because using a code like this

only works if the program and music are in the same file.

if you want to be able to keep the code like that and not need to continuously make executables, then put the source code in the folder you plan to put the final in, but make sure to move the source code before publishing
