Back to main Menu

Click the button below to go
download a free 30 day trail of
Macromedia Flash MX 2004

Link to flash

First Step find a
sound off the internet
or out of your own
sounds. Make sure
you download the
sound or save it,
make sure you know
where to find the file
the sound is in.

Ok now to make the
soundboard. The
example soundboard I
am going to show how to
make a based on the
character from the show
The Simpsons the
character is Chief
Wiggum

Back

Ok now click
the type
button

Then type what the
character is going to say.

Example:

This better be
about pizza

Ok now click the rectangle tool

You can make the
button any color you
want but remeber you
want to be able to
read the words.

Now make a rectangle
over what ever you typed

Example:

Now click the Black
Arrow on the tool bar

Now highlight the
rectangle (click and
drag over the rectangle)
make sure the whole
rectangle is highlighted

Now press F8 to bring up
the Convert to Symbol
box. Name it whatever
you want and make sure
button is clicked then
click OK

It should
look like
this after
you
clicked ok

Now click off the button and
double click on it you should
see this now on the timeline bar

Now right click on the down
box and click Insert Keyframe

Don't click off the
screen it should
look like the
example just go to
the next step

Example:

Now click File
and go to Import
then to Import to
Library

Then go to
where ever you
put the sound
and open it

Now double click the gray area

Now since you added
the sound press Ctrl
and L to open the
Library

Now find your sound and
click and drag it on to the
screen.

Now you are done your first
sound button, try out the
example button!

This better be
about pizza

This is how you put a background
without it being in the way.

First of all if you
just want a color
just click the
color tool in the
properties bar.

If you want a picture as a
background click the next button

Ok first you want to make a new
layer, to do that go on the
timeline bar and right click and
say insert layer

Make sure the layer you
just put in for the picture
is at the bottom of the
layers, if its not just click
and drag till it is.

Ok now
this is what
the
example
picture is
going to be

Ok now copy and paste your
picture but make sure the new
layer is highlighted, to highlight
it just click on Layer # in the
example its Layer 7

Now on the layer that has
the picture click the middle
black dot, when you do a
lock should come up like
the one in the example

Now you have a
background so you can
continue to do your
soundboard. I would do the
background before you
make the soundboard

Example

This is how you make a clickable link. First make
a button, check the how to make a soundboard
part to find out how. Then when the button is
highlighted Press F9.

The type in
on (release) {
getURL("www.linkrighthe
re.com");
}
In the white box and thats
it. and put the link where
the
www.linkrighthere.com is

Thats how you make a link

Ok first make a button, go to how to make a
soundboard to find out how to make a button,
then when the button is highlighted press F9

Then type in the
white box
on (release) {
stopAllSounds();
}
And that should do it

Ok first make a
main menu, but
before you do
press F9 make
sure nothing
was highlighted

Type in the white box
stop ();
This will stop the
soundboard here

Now on the Timeline
bar right click and say
insert blank keyframe.

And enter at the
same place as
before
stop ();
at the same place

Now you want to make a button to go that frame you
just put in. So make a button and press F9 and type
this in the white box
on(release) {
gotoandplay(2);
}
where it says 2 put whatever frame you want to get to.

Example

And thats how you do it
