I am making a chess game. I have recorded sounds for things such as “king”, “queen”, “pawn”, “black”, “white”, “to”, “A”, “1” etc. etc… Now, what I want to do, is when someone makes a move, i want to have it say “White king to B6” or something to that effect. What I want to know is, is there a way, using actionscript most likely, to put the sounds together at runtime, or will I have to play each sound after one another and use getTimer() to calculate when to run each sound based on the length of them?

Thanks, JK. :block:

[edit]Gee, I hope that made sense. Oh well, just tell me if it didnt and i’ll explain better[/edit]

well what i am wondering is(and excuse me if i’m wrong) is why don’t you just play the sound when the chess piece is moved? for ex.

```auto

pawn.onPress = function(){
pawnSound.start(0,1);
}

```

although i don’t think i am understanding you too well 🙂  
[edit]  
ahh i just reread your post you want it to say, blah moved to blah _scratches head_

hmm i’m really not too sure about that
