random start and end time 1

[derezzz]

Hey, can anyone help me with lingo on random start and endtime for sounds that are shockwave files?

The following button behavior plays sound member ("member(1)") with random start & end time when clicked.

The strategy is:
1. Determine the duration of the sound
2. Set the random start time. I did "random(soundDuration - 1000)" so that at least the start time will be 1 second before the end.
3. Set the random end time.
4. Play the sound using start/end time just set.

on mouseUp me
soundMember = member(1)
soundDuration = soundMember.duration
put "soundDuration:" && soundDuration
startCue = random(soundDuration - 1000)
endCue = startCue + random(soundDuration - startCue)
put "startCue:" && startCue
put "endCue:" && endCue
sound(1).play([#member:soundMember, #startTime:startCue, #endTime:endCue])
end mouseUp
