hi all, this is the code:

function setSounds(event)  
 self=event.target  
 if myList~=nil then  
 if myList.isVisible==true then  
 myList.isVisible=false  
 end  
 end  
 local doc\_path = system.pathForFile( nil, system.ResourceDirectory )  
 local target=event.target  
 doc\_path=doc\_path.."/kits/"..dataKits[self.id]  
 local i=1  
 for file in lfs.dir(doc\_path) do  
 if file ~= "." and file ~= ".." then  
 sounds[i]=audio.loadSound(file)  
 i=i+1  
 end  
 end  
end

and this is the terminal…

I can’t understand… [import]uid: 70929 topic_id: 27889 reply_id: 327889[/import]

What happens if you change nil to “” (empty string) in the pathForFile statement?

Update:

I think the problem is you need to add path in the loadSound statement. The default baseDir is ResourceDirectory but it doesn’t know about the subdirectory. Try this:

sounds[i]=audio.loadSound( "/kits/" .. file )

Hi Tom, thanks for the answer, with “” in the patForFile, i got an error, but i solved thanks to a friend help.

the solution is the one you write, the relative path:

sounds[i]=audio.loadSound( "/kits/" .. file )

Thanks!
