Hi,

I’m pretty new to flash and after reading numorous tutorials and several days of experimentation i’m still stumped. I’m trying to create a flash drum machine. I have a template created in illustrator with 16 “pads” and I have 16 exported sounds. At this point all I want is when a apecific keyboard key is pressed it plays a sound.

For example button “Q” relates to “pad 5” which plays “sample5.mp3”.

If anyone out there in internet land can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it!
