Thanks, I actually figured out another way. I create a script &quot;playline&quot; that accepts a &lt;string&gt; parameter.  I then switch to text mode and change the script as shown below:<div><br><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote" style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;">
playline: t1 <br><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">	</span>self beep: t1</blockquote><div><div><br></div><div>Then call the script with the text-&gt;Characters in the Holder.</div><div><br></div><div>I discovered this by looking at how the Scripting Tiles translate to text.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I&#39;ve been thinking about how to transition kids from Etoys scripting tiles to Squeak, this may provide an avenue, not sure. The challenge is to find a good problem that they are motivated to solve and can be done with &quot;simple&quot; Squeak commands.</div>

<div><br><div>I would like to add the ability for them to record their parts (using sound recorder) and then have those parts automatically play when their line is displayed.  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&#39;ed). For example when a line is displayed there could be a button &quot;Record line&quot; (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).</div>

<div><br></div><div>1. Press Cmd-m and from the &quot;alphabetical list&quot; choose RecordingControlsMorph. A simplified version of that is &quot;RecordingControls&quot; which is the default recorder nowadays.</div><div>
<br></div><div>2. Record a sound.</div><div><br></div><div>3. Make a SoundEvent tile by pressing the &quot;Morph&quot; button.</div><div><br></div><div>4. In the SoundEvent&#39;s viewer use &quot;do menu item&quot; from the &quot;misc&quot; category to invoke &quot;play sound&quot;.</div>
