adding sound not working

[star0629]

I am trying to add background music which can be stopped and played by the player in the game i am creating. I googled how to do it and added the following example code to a button:

on mouseUp
play audioClip "/Users/davidwilliams/desktop/audiolesson/hello.wav"
end mouseUp

When i substituted in my stuff, all i got was thing crackling sound. Could someone please explain why, and what i can do.

thanks


edit: the file is not compressed.

Hi David,

LC is EXTREMELY picky, when it comes to PLAY audo and video files!
Is the WAV sound compressed somehow? LC does not like that.

Please post some info about the sound format if possible.

Hi...

You have the file you want to play on the desktop, so use

Code: Select all

play "/Users/davidwilliams/desktop/audiolesson/hello.wav"

use

Code: Select all

play audioclip  "hello.wav"

if you have imported the .wav file into your stack...

AH! Good catch!
