Hi Steven
did you try to do the following
set someFile = new( Xtra "FileIO")
errorCode = openFile(someFile, FilePath, 0)
errorCode = delete someFile
errorCode = closeFile( someFile )
set someFile = 0
it might work just a wild stab in the dark

You can also shorten your scripts like so:

You need to declare "global vol" at the top of each of your mouseUp

set vol to 4
set the soundLevel to vol

hmmm. interesting statement. I have done a lot with MCI & once you get

If I've two running projectors (proj_1 and proj_2) is there a way to pass

Something like "tell (projector) to..." as with MIAW?

MCI has been deprecated by Microsoft for several years, and has only legacy
support. I'd stay away from MCI.
You can use sound playFile,
