Random MP3 Playback?

[gt123]

Hi,

I'm doing a College project that needs to have a random MP3 playback feature. A random MP3 must be selected from ten MP3s when the movie is loaded, there is then a bar at the top of the movie that controls the audio with 'Play', 'Pause', 'Stop', 'Fast Forward' and 'Rewind' buttons. A new random MP3 must be played back when the original one ends etc.

Unfortunately, I have extremely little experience with director, so i'd greatly appreciate help with this.

Thanks alot,

GT

Very basic example of playing a random external MP3 in channel 1:

[tt]--
mp3List = ["1.mp3", "2.mp3", "3.mp3", "4.mp3", "5.mp3", "6.mp3", "7.mp3", "8.mp3", "9.mp3", "10.mp3"]
sound(1).playFile(mp3List[random(10)])
--[/tt]

I've already managed to sort this now, but would the method you posted work with cast members rather than externally?

playFile()" is for the external sound files. Use "play()" for internal sound members.
