OT - Hypercard snd resources...

[Ken Ray]

Kevin,

You can use an external command to get a list of sound resources (Fred
Rinaldi has one, I think) which would give you the list of names along with
IDs, etc. You could then take that container and randomly pick a line, grab
the name, and then play the sound by name.

There's probably other ways to do this, but this is the first thing that
came to mind.
