I have a Juke box of sorts with songs in a container field and search facilities - I am using a portal to create a Play list, but I can't find a way to make a sound file in a container field play automatically. I want the script to go to that record and tell the song to play, then move on to the next song etc.

Any help would be most appreciated !

If you script a button (play) to go to the container field which holds the sound file, making sure you select the "Select Perform" option, then the sound will play automatically. The script step is:

GoToField[select/Perform,"YourSoundField"]

For a "JukeBox" effect, just loop through the records you have selected, doing the above.

Give me an email if you have any problems. I have an old "jukebox" file - but don't use it much since iTunes came out.

I have attached afile (pretty rough) of my old jukebox. It has the song names/artists in it but these obviously won't work because the linked sound files are not included. It has the play scripts in it.
