```auto

if (tijdstip != datum) {
            "sound"+favoSound.play();
            trace("sound"+favoSound);
        }

```

The trace gives me the right name, but the sound wont play :s

the “favoSound” is a word that I get from a shared object. (there are 2 options for favoSound, it is “blip”, or “beepbeep”.

on the scene I have 2 mc’s one has “soundblip” as an instancename, and the other is called “soundbeepbeep”.

anyone understand why they wont play ?  
thx in advance !
