Hello..Need a little help

1

Hi gang !
I am VERY new to Flash so please bear with me :puzzle:

I have been trying to add a sound (music) to an animated .gif file so the music only plays when the mouse cursor is over the file. When I right click on the .Gif to edit …the only edit option in the drop down box is " edit with ois " .I don’t see where to add the keyframes to start the sounds.
I can add the music to the file in a sound layer but it plays as soon as the .Gif is opened. What am I doing wrong?

I suggest you make the gif into a movie clip symbol. Then create a sound object with the corresponding sound linkage file. So that when a “onRollOver” events occurs on the movieclip (gif) you then play the sound.

Do you see what I mean?

I forgot to add …Also how do I get the music to stop once the mouse cursor moves off the button so to speak. I have been playing with the “Adding The Sound” tutorial and have got the sound to play when the cursor moves over the button but I cant for the life of me figure out how to get it to stop when the cursor moves away.

I’ll give it a shot Michael . Thanks!

Also include an “onRollOut” event. For example something along these lines

gifName.onRollOver = function() {
musicObject.start();
}
gifName.onRollOut = function() {
musicObject.stop();
}

I don’t know why but I am not getting keyframes labled down, ect…even after changing the gif to a movie symbol.:puzzle:

OK, Scandalous, just a n00b mistake. Put the code into the first frame. If you don’t see the timeline, click the text that says timeline near the top of the screen
