It's a very cool little app, so I hope it starts working.

Alright, where you have

replace it with this:
//Hold playhead here
stop();
var soundsNowPlaying:Array = new Array();
_global.counterJ = 0;
//Declare global variable for tracking the number of sounds currently
playing
_global.soundsPlaying = 0;
//Create function to load in random sound file onRollOver
this.onRollOver = function() {
//Check to see if soundsPlaying is less than specified limit
if (_global.soundsPlaying < 10) {
//Define variable for random sound file number
soundNumber = Math.round(Math.random()*7)+1;
soundsNowPlaying[counter] = new Sound();
soundsNowPlaying[counter].loadSound("sounds_library/conflict_"+soundNumber+".mp3",
true);
soundsNowPlaying[counter].onLoad = function(success:Boolean):Void
{
if (success) {
this.start();
}
}
//Increment soundsPlaying variable
_global.soundsPlaying++;
//trace(soundsPlaying);
//Decrement soundsPlaying variable when sound finishes
soundsNowPlaying[counter].onSoundComplete = function(){
_global.soundsPlaying--;
delete this;
};
_global.counterJ++;
trace(_global.counterJ);
}
//Define function to load a new random image onRelease
frameNumber = Math.round(Math.random()*3)+1;
maskBox.gotoAndPlay("tran"+frameNumber);
}
and tell me if that helps out. If yes I'll explain whats happening and if
no, then I'll try and find something else.
