It's much simpler (and better) than this. PlayStopped is sent when the
sound stops, so you don't have to use the wait command, MetaCard does it
for you. The following should play a series of sound files, from 1.au to
lastSound.au:
local whichSound, lastSound
on mouseUp
put 1 into whichSound
put 30 into lastSound --here you would put whatever the last sound is
play (whichSound & ".au")
end mouseUp
on playStopped
add 1 to whichSound
if whichSound > lastSound then exit playStopped
play (whichSound & ".au")
end playStopped
On the other hand, if you _want_ to lock out user interaction during
playback, you'd have to do something different.
Hope this helps,
