Problem using AVAudio Player

So I read over this discussion:

https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/creating-an-array-with-mp3-sound-files

But I'm still having trouble getting my AVAudio player to work. Here is the code I have:

- (void) playClip {
NSString *mp3File = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"inFavor" ofType:@"mp3"];
AVAudioPlayer *avPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:mp3File] error:NULL];
[avPlayer play];
}

I'm using this method inside IBAction button pressed action so that when the button is pressed:

- (IBAction) clickHere {
[self playClip]; 
}

I've imported the AV foundation at the top. not sure what I'm missing.

thanks!

Really what I'm hoping to do is create an Array of mp3 files. If anyone has done this and would be willing to share their code with me I would be really grateful!!

Don´t declare the code for the sound file in a specific method rather declare it in the ViewDidLoad method and then you can make a playClip method which you can paste the following code into: AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(soundEffect); Then you are passing what you declare in ViewDidLoad method into PlayClip method and when the button is pressed you call the playClip method. Hope this helps.
