Audio Trouble

[Alex---]

Im having a little trouble with my audio
I want to be able to put a short sound effect with each of my buttons but i want the audio to start playing as soon as you go over top of it and stop once you leave.. if you could help that would be great

Hi Alex---

Try this:

//sound1 is linkage name of my sound in the library 
mySound=new Sound();
mySound.attachSound("sound1");

myBtn.onRollOver=function()
{
    mySound.start();
}
myBtn.onRollOut=function()
{
    mySound.stop();
}

Hi Alex---

Try this:

//sound1 is linkage name of my sound in the library 
mySound=new Sound();
mySound.attachSound("sound1");

myBtn.onRollOver=function()
{
    mySound.start();
}
myBtn.onRollOut=function()
{
    mySound.stop();
} 

Alright... so i have my button created and my audio in the libary... so i just go to my button and add that into the action screen? and change the sound1 to what ever.. lets say toaster sound?

pretty much yes, just make sure in the library right click on you sound and click on linkage then tick "export for action script" and give your sund an identifier name, mine for instance was sound1.

I entered what you gave me and had my linkage name for the sound the same and when i went to test it all i got was this:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 2: Statement must appear within on handler
mySound=new Sound();

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 3: Statement must appear within on handler
mySound.attachSound("Sound1");

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 5: Statement must appear within on handler
myBtn.onRollOver=function()

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 9: Statement must appear within on handler
myBtn.onRollOut=function()

Total ActionScript Errors: 4 Reported Errors:


So i dont know what i did or didnt do...

Hey Alex

That is because my code should be attached to frame not the button itself, attaching code to the objects in general and button in this instance is not recommended
(read this document for further information). to fix the problem cut whatever code you have attached to your button and paste it to a frame on the main timeline, don't forget to give your button an instance name. "myBtn" is the instance name of my button in this case. I also recommed to have a read on basic AS and its synatx rulles.

Good Luck
