Sambo Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 How can I make a button 'play' a custom sound when it has been pressed to give the user some 'feedback' to using a database? I have tried looking at the scripts but have very limited knowledge all I can get is the beep and the computer to speak! but I would much prefer a sutle sound effect.

Vaughan Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Create a global container field and import the sound into that field. Each time you want to play the sound use the "Go to Field [select/perform]" script step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted November 12, 2002 Author Share Posted November 12, 2002 Thanks got sounds to work, but is there a way of hiding the Quicktime player? Also is it possible to keep all sounds in seperate Global fields on a hidden layout? Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D. Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 I just did a similar button where I set the size of the container field to .025 by .025 inches and matched the font color and field color to the same color as the button. I then placed the sound container on the right edge of the button. On a Windows PC, the Quicktime player tries display, but because of the minimized container size it only shows a small vertical line. That's why I put it on the edge of the button to "hide" the line. On a Mac, the line doesn't show. My button, Tech Support Phone Numbers, plays a sound bite from Star Wars - Princess Leia saying " Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope" and then pops up a message box with my phone numbers. It always helps to know the 'culture' of the customer, they loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
