Embedding Sound with Flash, Part I: The Basics

Examples for Page Sonification

In our first example, let's sound a beam scan. The frame name is "/beamscan" and it has two labels: "start" and "stop". First, try it (the track's length is a couple of seconds, so stop it immediately if you want to catch it before the end of the track):

Play the beam scan

Stop the beam scan

We have a few examples on this page. Since you can associate a single SWF file with each FlashSound object, we need to create a FlashSound object for each SWF file. Here is the code for the example above:


<HEAD>
  <SCRIPT SRC="flashsound.js"></SCRIPT>
  <SCRIPT>
    var mySoundObj1 = new FlashSound();
  </SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><A HREF="javascript://"
  onclick="mySoundObj1.TGotoAndPlay('/beamscan',
  'start')">Play the beam scan</A>
<P><A HREF="javascript://"
  onclick="mySoundObj1.TGotoAndPlay('/beamscan',
  'stop')">Stop the beam scan</A>
<SCRIPT>
  mySoundObj1.embedSWF("interactivesound.swf");
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Our next example is taken from the kung fu martial art. The SWF file "hyperkungfu_32.swf" includes a dozen different sound bits associated with kung fu. In the example below the sound bits are called after their lables in the SWF file. Try them out:

We use the object mySoundObj2 for this example. Here is the source code for the first two links:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
  <SCRIPT SRC="flashsound.js"></SCRIPT>
  <SCRIPT>
    var mySoundObj2 = new FlashSound();
  </SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><A HREF="javascript://"
  onclick="mySoundObj2.TGotoAndPlay('/b1',
  'start')">Play the b1 sound</A>
<P><A HREF="javascript://"
  onclick="mySoundObj2.TGotoAndPlay('/k1',
  'start')">Play the k1 sound</A>
<SCRIPT>
  mySoundObj2.embedSWF("hyperkungfu_32.swf");
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Our third example shows Flash's ability to fade and stop. Here is a link that start a funky music and another one that fades and stops it:

Play the funky music

Fade and stop the funky music

We use the mySoundObj3 object for this example. This is the source code:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
  <SCRIPT SRC="flashsound.js"></SCRIPT>
  <SCRIPT>
    var mySoundObj3 = new FlashSound();
  </SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><A HREF="javascript://"
  onclick="mySoundObj3.TGotoAndPlay('/fistycuffs',
  'start')">Play the funky music</A>
<P><A HREF="javascript://"
  onclick="mySoundObj3.TGotoAndPlay('/fistycuffs',
  'fadetostop')">Fade and stop the funky music</A>
<SCRIPT>
  mySoundObj3.embedSWF("funkymusic.swf");
</SCRIPT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
