hi, how to count how many times the btn have been click. After counted the number of btn been click , according to the number , load the sound that match with the number of the btn been click.
i upload the fla zip file to here.anyone who know how to do it , plz reply me.thanks.
At the first frame :
```auto
Sound = new Sound();
Sound.attachSound("firstSound01.wav","secondSound02.wav");
At the btn's action:
```
on (release) {
count++;
trace(count);
if (count == 1) {
\_root.Sound.start();
\_root.Sound.firstSound01.start();
}
if (count == 2) {
\_root.Sound.start();
\_root.Sound.secondSound02.start();
}
//if (count == 3) {
// \_root.Sound.start();
// \_root.Sound.thirdSound03.start();
//}
//if (count ==4){
// \_root.Sound.start();
// \_root.Sound.forthSound04.start();
// count=""
//}
}

There are a few errors in your code. Try something like this:
```auto
//at the first frame
my_sound = new Sound(this);
//on the button
on (release) {
count++;
switch (count) {
case 1 :
id = "firstSound01.wav";
break;
case 2 :
id = "secondSound02.wav";
break;
case 3 :
id = "thirdSound03.wav";
break;
default :
id = "forthSound04.wav";
}
_root.my_sound.attachSound(id);
_root.my_sound.start(0, 1);
}
```

Yes it works.
\*id \* is a variable that controls which sound should play.
Did you give the linkage names to each sound file?

To work with attached sounds you must to give a linkage name to the sound file in the library, so you can reference it.
Right click the sound file in the library, linkage, and check the export for actionscript option.

Did you pay attention to the code i posted before? The one you just posted is not the exact one i posted, so its never going to work.
