Hey all,

I need my list(which is now an image scroller), in a parent swf, to trace the variable value that is being called in **playSound()**, in the external swf. All I get is **undefined**.

Currently, the list populates with an image as the variable \*\*iterator \*\*changes(about 13 changes = 13 images in the list scroller).

**Below is the code from my external swf:**  
ActionScript Code:  
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#000000] **var** [/COLOR] soundArray:[COLOR=#0000FF]Array[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000] **new** [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000FF]Array[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]snd1, snd2, snd3, snd4, snd5, snd6, snd7, snd8, snd9, snd10, snd11, snd12, snd13[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];

[COLOR=#000000] **function** [/COLOR] playSoundCOLOR=#000000[/COLOR]:[COLOR=#0000FF]Void[/COLOR]  
[COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]

soundArray[COLOR=#000000][[/COLOR]iterator-[COLOR=#000080]1[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]][/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]onSoundComplete[/COLOR] = fadeOut;  
\_isCompleteCOLOR=#000000[/COLOR];

I cannot trace anything but \*\*undefined \*\*when I select any of the images in the list scroller.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
