How do you know the correct filepath for playing an audioClip?(Andrea George

[Sarah Reichelt]

Try this:

on mouseUp
   answer file "Select an audio file:"
   put it  -- so you can see what the exact file name is
   play it looping
end mouseUp

If your problem is a file path one, this will fix it.

Cheers,
Sarah
