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.
2 Choose Edit from the Library Options menu.
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 Choose Window > Panels > Sound.
7 In the Sound panel, choose a sound file from the Sound pop-up menu.
8 Choose 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.
