Preston,
If you want your CD-based app to "know" where to find the .wav files on
that same CD, your script needs to figure out the path name at run-time.
It's easy.
Assuming your app is a standalone app and you have a folder called
'wavfiles" at the same level as your app, you could do it like this:
global gPath
on openStack -- create the path to the .wav files
put the effective filename of this stack into tAppPath
if the platform = "MacOS" then
set the itemDelimiter to "."
put item 1 of the systemVersion into tVersionNum
end if
set the itemDelimiter to slash
if tVersionNum > 9 then
delete item -4 to -1 of tAppPath
else -- OS is anything but OS X
delete item -1 of tAppPath
end if
put tAppPath & slash into gPath
end openStack
Then later in your app when you want to play a file, you can set the
filename of a player to (gPath & the 'short name' of a .wav file), and
off you go.

There are also other ways to do it. Multiple choices sort of makes it
into a "runtime revolution", doesn't it? OK, OK...

I want to make a standalone that plays a bunch of .wav files and will
be distributed on CD. How do I configure the standalone settings (do
I include these sound files?) and where do I put things on the CD so
the whole megilla will play on somebody else's machine? I'm going
nuts trying to figure this out. Help would be appreciated by me and
my long-suffering roommate.
