Button that plays random sound FX?

[Bad-Atom]

I'm trying to make a button that plays random sounds every time you click on it. I've looked here through all the AS tutorials but came up empty. Anyone here have any idea how to do this?

Say you have seven sounds. Have ONE MC that has seven frames. On those seven frames, put a stop(); action. Then, make a new MC on every frame, with each MC having a different sound. Then, have the button, and add the code that makes it on(release), _root.MCNAME.gotoAndStop(WHATEVER.THE.SCRIPT.
IS.FOR.RANDOM.FRAMES.BETWEEN.2-8)}

There's ur magic button.

Alternatively:

You could get all your sound files that you want to pick from in the library and right click and add select linkage. Then tick off the export for action script and name them beep1, beep2, beep3....beep7, respectively.

Then go to the main timeline and add the code:

bgSound1 = new Sound(this);
bgSound1.attachSound("beep1");
bgSound2 = new Sound(this);
bgSound2.attachSound("beep2");
bgSound3 = new Sound(this);
bgSound3.attachSound("beep3");
bgSound4 = new Sound(this);
bgSound4.attachSound("beep4");
bgSound5 = new Sound(this);
bgSound5.attachSound("beep5");
bgSound6 = new Sound(this);
bgSound6.attachSound("beep6");
bgSound7 = new Sound(this);
bgSound7.attachSound("beep7");

Then go to your button and add:

on (release) {
soundplay = Math.ceil(Math.random()*7)
_root["bgSound"+soundplay].start();
}

Walla!

Why make a new MC for each frame? Just add the sound to the frame. Personally, I'd go for 8 frames, first frame empty with a stop(); action, then each of the other frames with a sound and a gotoAndStop(1); action. Put it on stage, give it the instance name 'SFX', then use

on(press){
_root.SFX.gotoAndStop(random(7)+2);
}

on the button
