Using sounds with Sound objects

You can use the Sound object in ActionScript to add sounds to a document and to control sound objects in a document. Controlling sounds includes adjusting the volume or the right and left balance while a sound is playing. See Creating sound controls.

To use a sound in a Sound action, you assign an identifier string to the sound in the Symbol Linkage dialog box.

To assign an identifier string to a sound:

  1. Select the sound in the Library panel.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Select Linkage from the options menu in the upper right corner of the panel.
    • Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the sound name in the Library panel, and select Linkage from the context menu.
  3. Under Linkage in the Symbol Linkage Properties dialog box, select Export for ActionScript.
  4. Enter an identifier string in the text box, and then click OK.
