So for example say there is a play with four kids in a scene.  The kids could record their lines in the project (and automagically store that sound in the Holder for playback when that line is cue'ed). For example when a line is displayed there could be a button "Record line" (can do this now).  Then have a way to store a reference to that sound in the holder such that you can write a Script that plays that sound. (This is the part I need help with how to store a reference in the Holder and play the sound based on the reference item).


Hmm, this indeed seems more complicated than it used to be. Maybe I misremember but this should be easy.

Here's what you can do currently:

1. Press Cmd-m and from the "alphabetical list" choose RecordingControlsMorph. A simplified version of that is "RecordingControls" which is the default recorder nowadays.

2. Record a sound.

3. Make a SoundEvent tile by pressing the "Morph" button.

4. In the SoundEvent's viewer use "do menu item" from the "misc" category to invoke "play sound".
