Integrating sound into flashcard

in Working with GS (Mac)

HI I have built my flashcard app, but need to integrate audio files in for each word when it appears. I have all my words and definitions in a table in GS. There is a separate sound file for each word on the list as every word is different. Is there an easy way to do this? Maybe somehow putting all the sound files in a corresponding list/table and telling program to link them up so that when the word appears, the right file should play? Would really appreciate some guidance as I am new to this and really struggling!

    I have good news and bad news. The good news is that you can indeed store the words in a table and then detect when a particular word appears. And you can also specify the name of a sound to play. But you cannot actually play a sound based on an expression so you'll be stuck creating a separate rule for each possible sound (e.g. When text expression = 'hello' --> Play Sound [Hello].

    wow really. I have about 2000 words :( Could you please tell me step by step under the actor which behaviors I would use to play the sound? Also if I have all my words and definitions in a table, is there a way to randomize them? I have a vocabulary section with flashcards and a quiz section with multiple choice, I would like to know how to randomize the flashcards and questions that show up. is there a way to do this?
