How does the sound name auto control parameters?

playsound (auto, music.mp3, false, 1);

set (sound [????]. onplay, 'trace ("!");');

sound [? ? ? ] .onplay How to get the name?

with action script you cant know the name if you use auto.
so better use a name

playsound(rocknroll, music.mp3, false, 1);
set(sound[rocknroll].onplay, 'trace ("!");');

When having used 'auto' as name for a new sound, then there will be also a global variable named autosound that refers to that last created sound object.

？？？？？？

I don't understand what he means
And after the sound is played, it ca n’t be played anymore, no sound name can be found.

playsound(auto, music.mp3, false, 1);
trace('autosound=', autosound);
set(sound[get(autosound)].onplay, 'trace ("!");');

read the documentation:

playsound（auto，music.mp3，false，1）;
trace（'autosound ='，autosound）;

INFO: autosound=[object Object]

No effect, no control

WARNING: Unknown action: sound[get(autosound)].toggle

well, if autosound is not a string (the name) but an object, what could it be ?
always read the docs, they are very exact !
(i didnt do that, first )

" there will be also a global variable named autosound that refers to that last created sound object. "

so...
playsound(auto，music.mp3，false，1);
trace('last name = '，autosound.name);
autosound.play(); // play later

of course autosound gets overwritten if you create another sound with auto
so it would be wise to backup the sound object for later use

playsound(auto，music.mp3，false，1);
copy(mysound, autosound);
trace('mysound name = '，mysound.name);
mysound.play(); // play later

but why not simple use your own name anyway?
playsound(mysound，music.mp3，false，1);
sound[mysound].play(); // play later
