Alright, where you have
//Hold playhead here
stop();
//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 < 6) {
//Define variable for random sound file number
soundNumber = Math.round(Math.random()*7)+1;
var soundFile:Sound = new Sound();
soundFile.loadSound("sounds_library/conflict_"+soundNumber+".mp3",
true);
soundFile.onLoad = function(success:Boolean):Void {
if (success) {
soundFile.start();
}
};
//Increment soundsPlaying variable
_global.soundsPlaying++;
trace(soundsPlaying);
//Decrement soundsPlaying variable when sound finishes
soundFile.onSoundComplete = function(){
_global.soundsPlaying--;
trace(soundsPlaying);
};
}
//Define function to load a new random image onRelease
frameNumber = Math.round(Math.random()*3)+1;
maskBox.gotoAndPlay("tran"+frameNumber);
};
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.

Can you give me a more specific example of how to go about setting up the
array and pulling sounds from it? I've worked with arrays before, but not
extensively. I'm just unsure of the syntax.
