Has anyone tried to refer to a sound file using a variable in IOS? For example:
put the short name of the current card&".wav" into soundtoplay
play specialFolderPath("engine") & "/Audio/soundtoplay"
Doesn't work for me. I would appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks!

Hi michelle,
variable names must not be in uotes!
And you need to put parenthesis around the filename.
This will work:
...
put the short name of the current card & ".wav" into soundtoplay
play (specialFolderPath("engine") & "/Audio/" & soundtoplay)
...
Best from gemany

Thanks Klaus and ctflatt. I had tried a version that didn't use the quotes - because I thought the same thing but was getting errors from LC. I probably just had a typo I didn't notice. It is working perfectly! I really appreciate your help!

I posted too quickly - I just noticed this part of the comment "put parenthesis around the filename" -- That was it. Thanks again!
