adding sound effect to this

Wulfgen · Sep 26, 2006

Hello all,
looks like I've inherited a flash file from a previous builder and it works fine - however - the client wants a "whooshy" sound when you roll over the buttons. When I looked at the fla file I found this.......... yikes, way, way, above me!!!! Is there a way to add a snd to this so onRollover it plays once? I've tried attaching an on rollover play to a snd in a new layer of the first frame but it errors out - I'm missing it, but thats because of my limited knowledge (I know enough to make myself dangerous)

any ideas? -- oh this is a 2004MX file, I don't have 8 yet. (money |-p)

Any way of posting a link to a .fla?

In the "frame 1 actions" create a Sound object and load your "whooshy" MP3 file as an event sound.

Then in the function 'this["onRollOver"]' in the "button action", fire "Sound.start()".

I used this instead from Kirupa:

Code:

on (rollover) {
	kirupaSound = new Sound(this);
	kirupaSound.attachSound("coolsound");
	kirupaSound.start();
	////kirupaSound.start(0, 0);
}

works fine... I just have to find the "right" whoosy! sound now.. are there any free sound effects places? google just give me people that have samples from CD's

Flashkit?

No oldnewbie -- I know about the flashkit feud - and in deference to you I actually hosed any bookmarks I had to them -- this came from

Most of the ones I found have a few cars, trains, planes, cars, dogs. etc. etc -- but they want you to buy their stuff on CD -- oh weel -- just went to a building, stuck a tape recorer into the elevatore door corner and recorded it opening and closing - then didi some cutting pasting in QT to get what I needed.

In my course of searchings, I found you are also present on a few other forums - you get around -- lol
