Thank you Irv!
yes, certainly that would be very useful.
At the moment I'm trying to make a list of vocabulary with the translation
next to it, then when the user click on a perticular word, the sound
tiggered (how to pronounce the word).
Because I have got about 50 words each list, tried to make textmember on the
fly and then fill them with words that I retrive from a PropertyList.
Now, my next step problem is how to attach a behaviour on each text member
that I created on the fly so that when the suer click on the sprite it will
trigger the sound to play.
Thanks !
