Large sound files

[Thomas J McGrath III]

I have been looking at the Play command and Player items and can not 
get any of it to work via scripting. RIght now this is what I'm left 
with. the gmySound is True as a default.

What I want in the end is to check that gmySound is True, if so then 
check a sound file for that card, then to play that sound file. This 
seems pretty straight forward at first. I have tried the suggestions 
from the list but they have not produced a positive result.

I can however use the menu item for a new QT control and have it play 
physically but not yet by script. I don't want the controller or at 
least not to see it on the card and I want a different sound for each 
card.

on mouseUp
   global gmySound, gmyPlayer
     if gMySound then
     --set the fileName of player 1 to 
"/Users/mcgrath3/Documents/SCS/UnityCD 
Project/UnityCDRev/media/Unity1.mp3" -- this did not work
     newPlayer
     --start player gmyPlayer
   end if
end mouseUp

on newPlayer -- assign a file
   global gmyPlayer
     answer file "Please choose a file to play:"
	put it into gmyPlayer
	open file gmyPlayer
	play gmyPlayer
end newPlayer
