Add Sound

You can link sound to your piece while also specifying how you want the sound to play. Authorware supports a variety of sound formats, including MP3 digital audio files.

  1. Drag a sound icon from the Icon palette to the flowline, placing it below the Title display icon.



  2. Name the sound icon Camera Sound, and double-click it.
  3. In the Sound Icon Properties inspector, click Import and browse within your Authorware 7 application folder to Tutorial/Assets, and double-click Camera.mp3.
  4. In the Sound Icon Properties inspector, click the Timing tab. In the Concurrency pop-up menu, select Concurrent.

    When the Concurrency setting is Wait Until Done, the sound file plays completely before advancing to the next icon on the flowline. When Concurrent is selected, once the sound begins to play, Authorware immediately advances to the next icon down the flowline.

  5. In the Play pop-up menu, verify that Fixed Number of Times appears.
  6. In the text box below, type 2 for the number of times the sound will play.
  7. Click the Play button in the Sound Ic\on Properties inspector to hear the sound based on the settings that you specified.



  8. Restart and then pause the piece.
