Adding sound to a button

Step 1

Create a new flash document.
Import your audio file into the library by selecting file > import > import to library then select your audio file and click ok.

Step 2

Create your button on the stage. I made a basic rectangle shape but you can make whatever you wish.

Using the selection tool (v) select your button.
Convert it into a symbol by pressing F8 then give your symbol an appropriate name and check the “button” button then click ok.

Step 3

Double click on your sound button and your timeline should look like below:

Now select the over state and create a new key frame by selecting F6.

Step 4

With the over state selected go to the bottom of screen and choose your audio file from the drop down menu.

Step 5

Test your movie Ctrl + enter

You should now have a button with sound.
