Play Sound problem solved

Title: Play Sound problem solved

I seem to have found a solution to my Play Sound problem. Rather than use a System 7 style sound, I simply switched to an AIFF file. Don’t know why that made a difference, but everything works great now, which is all I care to know. If this is of any use to others, my script follows below.

Cheers,

Justin
