hello.. I am a newbie in flash. I got confuse with the audio caption. I saw many literature to add caption on video, but I could not find any literature about audio captioning.
I have an audio in the timeline and also some pictures that illustrate the audio.. is it possible to add caption in my audio? and I also want to make on and off button for the caption..
help me please.. thank in advance..
(i am using actionscript 3.0):rolleyes:

If the audio is embedded in the timeline, then the easiest way to add captions is to simply add a new layer and put a text box in whatever frame you want (to match the audio). Same with adding pictures, create a pictures layer.
So if the audio needs a caption in frame 20, add a text box in frame 20. Photos could be directly embedded but it would be better to create an empty movie clip in frame 20 and then use something like "loadMovie" to display the photo.
If you've already researched captions with video, then you've probably seen how cue points in the .flv file can be used to trigger events, like have captions and/or images display.
You can use that exact same process for audio files.
A .flv file IS NOT a video file format, it is a container file format. That is, it holds (contains) some other files... could be a video and an audio file, could be just a video file, but it could also be just an audio file. So you could have a pure audio .flv file... then use cue points to trigger other events like captions....exactly the same way you would if the .flv contained video.
Best of luck!
