Buttons with multiple sounds

[ToddziLLa]

Flash 5: I have a button. I have 3 sounds that I would like to be randomly played when that button is clicked on. Is there a script or even an easier way to do this? In other words, I have 3 different sounds that I would like to be played when the button is clicked, seperatelt of course. Any suggestions?

You can do it if you attach the sounds for ActionScripting, and then call them out using a random number, rather than dropping them onto the timeline. You need to go into the library and use the linkage option to export for ActionScripting. Give each of the sounds a sequential name as an identifier: something like mySound1, mySound2, mySound3.

In the timeline on which the button sits, you could then declare the sound

buttonSound = new Sound();

On the button you then attach code like

on(rollOver){
soundChoice = Math.ceil(Math.random() * 3);
buttonSound.attachSound("mySound" + soundChoice);
buttonSound.start();
}
