Ahmwma, Millie, IJ, thank you all for such detailed answers! I really appreciate it, especially as someone who is rather new to coding! I have implemented some of the code suggested by IJ in the script of my card:

music1:("menu1","menu2","menu3")
 on loop do
 loopcounter.text:(count music1)%1+loopcounter.text
 music1[0+loopcounter.text]
end

This worked quite wonderfully! Admittedly, it will take a bit for me to fully unpack and understand it all just because of my limited understanding of code. It is interesting to use a field to store the variable information! I'll keep that in mind.

In regards to your discussion about having audio play across multiple cards, IJ, I found that the loop would continue if I navigate to a new card, but it would stay on the same track and loop (which I suppose makes sense given that the script on the original card would no longer apply) -- I was able to stop playback by putting the following in the script of the other pages:

on loop do
 
end

If I did want playback of the whole chain of audio files across slides, I will absolutely follow your advice above, thanks.

Just wanted to add this bit in case anyone wanders upon this thread in the future, but part of me had also wondered if there were a way to make it so that the whole audio chain would restart when you navigate back to that page. I managed to accomplish that by adding this bit of code at the top:

on view do
 loopcounter.text:-1
end
music1:("menu1","menu2","menu3")
on loop do
 loopcounter.text:(count music1)%1+loopcounter.text
 music1[0+loopcounter.text]
end

And that seems to work for me! If anyone finds there's a more efficient method, you're welcome to suggest it!

Thank you all for the help! Now off to make some awesome stuff with Decker! <3
