Setting up a sound icon

You use sound icons to play sounds in your Authorware pieces. You can import sounds and store them internally in a file, or store them externally and link them to your piece. Like other files, you can also drag and drop sound files onto the flowline of your piece.

You can play a loaded sound without opening the sound icon. To do this, click the sound icon with the right mouse button or press Control+Alt as you click the sound icon. Authorware plays the sound.

You can modify the sound properties in the Property inspector.

Note: Because sound icons are branching icons, they cannot be direct children of interaction, decision, or framework icons. You can, however, place a map icon next to the interaction, decision, or framework icon, and then place the sound icon inside the map icon. If you try to attach a sound icon to an interaction, decision, or framework icon, it will automatically be placed in a new map icon.
