I can think of 2 possibilities causing your trouble:
1. By using 1 name for all your Sound objects, each one is over-writing
the one before it. So what you end up with is 4 references to the same
Sound, the last one in the loop.
2. It's possible that you're trying to play the sounds before they're
completely loaded.
I played with your code a bit and this works:
<code>
var mySounds:Array = new Array();
var sPath:String = "../mp3/";
mySounds[0] = sPath+"soundD_DIP_you_know_this_word.mp3";
mySounds[1] = sPath+"soundD_NAR_a.mp3";
mySounds[2] = sPath+"soundD_NAR_a_(art).mp3";
mySounds[3] = sPath+"soundD_NAR_a_capital_b_looks_like_this.mp3";
var sounds_array:Array = new Array();
var sBaseName:String = "sound";
// load all sounds in loop
function loadSounds() {
trace("loadSounds");
for (var i:Number = 0; i<mySounds.length; i++) {
var sRef = _root;
// var testSound:Sound = new Sound(sRef);
this["testSound"+i] = new Sound(sRef);
var rfcSound:Sound = this["testSound"+i];
rfcSound.onLoad = function(success){
if(success) {
// prove the load is complete
trace(this+": dur:"+this.duration);
} else {
trace("Not loaded yet");
}
};
rfcSound.loadSound(mySounds[i], False);
sounds_array.push(rfcSound);
}
}
loadSounds();
// ----
// test to play sounds
// make sure the start() call comes after the load is complete
onInterval = function(){
clearInterval(nbrInterval)
for (var i in sounds_array) {
trace("tick");
sounds_array[i].start();
}
};
nbrInterval = setInterval (this, "onInterval", 1000);
</code>

Offhand I'm not sure of the problem -- anyone else have an idea?
It could be as simple as the use of "False" rather than "false" in
that last line. But I also wonder about two things:
First, I would expect a trace of the mySounds array to return a list
of paths to the sounds, not "[Object Object]."
Second, I'm not sure of the implications of using _root as the scope
for every testSound object where you're re-using the name for the
Sound object. Since you're calling them in a single action sequence, I
don't know if Flash has a chance to start loading one sound before
it's replaced by the action to load another sound. At best, loading
them sequentially into the same Sound object means you can only access
the last sound to be loaded. So you might try assigning a unique name
to each sound object.

paths are ok, playing them without dynamically loading and placing into
arrays is fine. the trace of the array results in: [Object Object] four
times, however no play. here is my complete code, no errors, but no
results:
when i give each sound object the same name, does that matter if
there is a
pointer within an array element for each one? am i going about this
wrong...
var mySounds:Array = new Array();
var sPath:String = "sound/loops/";
mySounds[0] = sPath + "Accident-Broadkas-8819.mp3";
mySounds[1] = sPath + "5-jakkob-2501.mp3";
mySounds[2] = sPath + "albert-Mikkel_M-204.mp3";
mySounds[3] = sPath + "delerium-queali-1634.mp3";
var sounds_array:Array = new Array();
var sBaseName:String = "sound";
// load all sounds in loop
function loadSounds() {
for (var i:Number = 0; i < mySounds.length; i++) {
sRef = _root;
var testSound:Sound = new Sound(sRef);
sounds_array.push(testSound);
testSound.loadSound(mySounds[i], False);
}
}
