Dynamic Sound Overview

1. Create a folder "mp3" in the current Chapter development folder where you are working with the source files (.fla). Put all of the mp3 sounds you have for your chapter in this folder.
2. Create a folder "mp3" within the chapter folder in the "wwwroot/movies" folder. e.g. create the folder: /Cimel/wwwroot/movies/objects_and_classes/mp3 Note: For this step you have to have access to the CIMEL ftp machine. You can skip this step for now but make sure whoever is developing the movies for the chapter uses a consistent chapter name for the code below.
3. Put the mp3 files in this folder.
4. To incorporate sounds in the movie you are developing use the code below in the frame where you want the sound to be loaded: loadSound(localStr, rootStr); where localStr and rootStr are strings which contain the path to the mp3 on the local computer and server, respectively.

   Example: loadSound("mp3/screen70.mp3","movies/software_engr/MP3/screen70.mp3");

• Make sure that the movie is made for Flash Player 6. To check, go to File Menu->Publish Settings->Flash tab. If the version of the Flash player is is Flash 5, change it to Flash Player 6.
• Check the location and name of the mp3 file used. The mp3s MUST be in the "mp3" subfolder relative to the location of the movie. Be sure that the filename ilsted in actionscript is correct. If you want to be sure, use rename file shortcut for the file 'F2', then copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) that text to the Actions window in Flash.
• You can use only MP3 files for dynamic sound (not .wav files).
