Adding sounds to buttons

You can associate sounds with the different states of a button symbol. Because the sounds are stored with the symbol, they work for all instances of the symbol.

To add sound to a button:

  1. Select the button in the Library panel.
  2. Select Edit from the options menu in the upper right corner of the panel.
  3. In the button's Timeline, add a layer for sound.
  4. In the sound layer, create a regular or blank keyframe to correspond to the button state to which you want to add a sound.

    For example, to add a sound that plays when the button is clicked, create a keyframe in the frame labeled Down.

  5. Click the keyframe you have just created.
  6. Select Window > Properties.
  7. In the Property inspector, select a sound file from the Sound pop-up menu.
  8. Select Event from the Synchronization pop-up menu.

    To associate a different sound with each of the button's keyframes, create a blank keyframe and add another sound file for each keyframe. You can also use the same sound file and apply a different sound effect for each button keyframe. See Using the sound-editing controls.
