Well, first you have to learn Flash. Assuming you know it, you can link to the sound externally with the following command placed on the button:

on(release){
var mysound:Sound = new Sound();
mysound.loadSound('http://www.bytescout.com/demo/flowers.mp3', true);
}

However, I'm not sure if you can create a pre-loader bar with that...

I think you'd have to place the sound inside an SWF and load that with the loadMovie command. The loaded SWF could have a preloader.
