Learn How to Add Sound to the Buttons

  • Watch the following tutorial on adding sound to a button:

Add Sound to the Buttons In Your Game Demo

  • Open your Game Demo file.
  • Find a sound you would want to use for your button. You may use http://www.findsounds.com/ for this purpose.
  • Save the sound you have chosen to your computer.
  • Double-click on your NEXT or BACK button on your first frame to get into the button. Now you will see the button’s timeline:

  • Insert a new layer above Layer 1 in your button’s timeline and name this layer "sound".

  • Import the sound to the library by clicking on File, Import, and Import to Library...

  • Once the sound is in your library, drag its icon from the library to the highlighted frame on the sound layer.

  • Experiment on your own and add a different sound to another button in your game demo.
  • Save and Publish the newest version of your Game Demo file as "YourUserName_demo6."

Update the Wiki

1. Save your new Flash file using the following naming scheme "YourUserName_demo6"

2. Publish your .fla file to create an .swf version of it.

3. Upload BOTH the .fla and .swf file to the wiki.

4. Embed both the files on your "My Projects" page or Team page.
