Tedd,
Because the sounds were repeated in exactly reverse order, my
imagined model is this: the sounds were initially actived in the
correct order, but each event issued an error dialog which, when
clicked on, repeated its corresponding sound. I didn't start
clicking on the error dialogs until all three sounds had
activated. Because the error dialogs stacked first-in-last-out
order, the top-most dialog I clicked on was for the third
sound. Clicking it repeated sound 3 and disappeared, revealing error
dialog 2. Clicking on dialog 2 repeated sound 2 and disappeared,
revealing dialog 1... This looks to me like a characteristic of
client-side window behavior, not of client-server communication.
