I'm using LiveCode Community Edition 6.6.0 build 4003 on a MacBook Air running Mac OS 10.7.5

I have a audio player called "playerNote" on card "cardA" that plays a WAV file lasting about 2 sec.
Player "playerNote" plays fine when invoked by buttons or other calls from card "cardA", as in first example below.
Now I want to play "playerNote" when I click a button on card "cardB" or I make calls from card "cardB", as in the second example below.
However in the second case, where the player is being started from a card other than the one it is on, the player is not sounding

/*Script and player are both on card "cardA" */
on mouseUp
start player "playerNote"
end mouseUp

/*Script is on card "cardB" but player is still on card "cardA" */
on mouseUp
start player "playerNote" of card "cardA" of stack "myStack"
end mouseUp

I can't see what is probably an obvious problem, so thanks for any suggestions!

Dag meerkat,

the player need to be on the same card where you "start" it.
Does not work any other way!

You can do this:
1. on card "cardA" select the player object and GROUP it!
Yes a single object

2. PLACE that new group also on card "CardB"
-> go to card "cardB"
-> select menu "Object"
-> "Place group"
-> and select your new group to place it onto card "cardB"

Now you can also:
...
start player "playerNote"
...
on that card!

Best
