Adding Sound to MovieClip Button

[skelebunny]

Hi Everyone. I'm having trouble adding a sound to a movieclip button. I know I have to use the sound class but I really have no idea how to phrase it with actionscript. All I want to happen is when you click the button it makes a sound. I'm using actionscript 3.0.

Thanks a lot!

off the top of my head try:


var snd:Sound = new Sound();
snd.load(new URLRequest("my.mp3"));

myMovieClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound, false, 0, true);

function playSound(evt:MouseEvent):void {
snd.play();
}



Check my syntax. I've been exclusively writing AS2 for the last few months so my AS3 is rusteh :/

Hey Runtime. I tried that code but didn't have any luck. Am I supposed to do something with my sound file after I import into my library?

Thanks

yes, there are a couple of things you will have to do. (i tested this just now and it does work).
edit:
there is no need to import the sound to your library.
embedding the sound will increase your file size/load time.

simply put your mp3 in the same folder as your swf.

first, the obvious:
did you change my code to match the names of your movie clip and your mp3?

secondly:
make sure you name your MC in the properties window.
make sure the mp3 is in the same folder as your SWF.

for remote:
if you are posting this remotely, you will need to change the string "my.mp3" to "http://www.yourwebsite.com/yourflashprojectfolder/my.mp3"

So this is the code that I used:

var soundBtn:Sound = new Sound();
soundBtn.load(new URLRequest("click.wav"));

button_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound, false, 0, true);

function playSound(evt:MouseEvent):void
{
soundBtn.play();
}

I placed my click.wav file in the same folder as my swf file but it's still not working. Does it have to be an mp3?

Thanks again.

hmm, good question. I am not sure if .wav is supported. I cannot convert mp3 to wav with the computer I am at. If you are on PC, i'm sure you can find a .wav to .mp3 converter for free.

Btw, when you paste code, use the "[AS]" tags around your code so it's easier for others to read. its activated by clicking on the flash icon above your post.

good luck.

You cannot dynamically load a .wav, only mp3's.
