hey,

i know this is simple, but i just cant get it.

Basically i have an MC called ‘sfx’ to which i’m loading some sounds, because i thought yo’re meant to be able to access them from the library, but apparently not.

so here’s the code on the MC ‘sfx’

```auto
onClipEvent (load){
	for (a=1;a<6;a++){
		Trumpet[a]=new Sound(); 
		Trumpet[a].attachSound("Trumpet"+a);
}

```

Just to clarify, the sounds in the library have been exported for AS under the names Trumpet1, Trumpet2 etc.

and then i have a button where i want to be able to play one of the sounds, but its not working. I’ve been testing with a specific sound (i.e on the button)

\_root.sfx.Trumpet1.start();

but it just appears the sounds aren’t loading properly. So i figure there’s something wrong in the way i’ve syntaxed the loop, but i don’t kow… i have real trouble with [] and + and what to do when.

thanks!
