Attaching sounds to rollovers

To provide auditory feedback, you can attach sounds to the different states of a rollover. Sounds can be applied only to states other than the normal state. The sound plays when that state is activated (for example, a sound that plays when a button is clicked). You can apply a sound from the Sounds palette, or you can attach an external sound file.

Note the following:

• If you apply a sound to a rollover state with the States palette, the sound appears only in the Changes list for that state.
• If you add a sound to the timeline of a multistate movie clip group, it appears in the timeline of each state, but is audible only in the state it was added to. The Changes list displays whether the sound is audible.

For more information on the Sounds palette and how to use it to attach sounds to rollovers, see Applying sounds. For information on sounds in animations, see Working with sound.

To attach an external sound to a rollover's state:

1. Select the object in the Composition window.
2. Select the state in the States palette.
3. Click the Sound button  in the States palette.
4. In the LiveMotion: Add Rollover Sound dialog box, locate and select the desired sound, and click Open.
