Can I Dynamically Link and Play Sounds?

kglad:
Have you had any luck getting that script to work yet?

kglad:
I am sorry to be so much trouble. Please let me know if I can repay you in any way. I have zipped the file and it may be downloaded at http://davidsdesign.echurchnetwork.net/FAQ/download/default.aspx

post a link to your fla that contains your sounds that have linkage ids assigned.

kglad:
While your code suggestion makes logical sense, I am unable to get it to work. Somewhere there is a breakdown, but I do not know where. Any suggestions?

you're very welcome. i really appreciate all that ham radio operators do for people in emergency situations.

Kglad:
WOW! You are amazing! It will take me a little time to sift through the code and fully appreciate all that you have sent me, but I am totally impressed! Thank you so much. I am sure that once I start putting your advice into action, that questions will arise. But I want to thank you so much for all that you have done for me already. You have enabled me to help out our radio club and its new students, and on their behalf I want to again say thank you.

if you are going to encode punctuation, in addtion to alpha-numeric characters you should probably invest the time to create an associative array. i'll explain that if that's the route you take.

in any case, you'll want to import into your library as the character sound files that you'll need. you'll want to give each a linkage id and you'll want to pick this wisely to ease your work later.

you'll want to use the onChanged property of your input textfield to store all the linkage ids (this where the associative array would be used and/or your clever choices used in assigning linkage ids) in an array.

you'll create a sound object from the flash sound class. when the submit button is pressed you'll initialize the index of your array that contains your linkage ids, you'll attach the corresponding sound and apply the start() method of your sound object.

you'll create an onSoundComplete method for your sound object (and you'll probably want small delay in executing this next step so there's some silence between characters) where you'll increment your index and attach the corresponding sound and start it.

you are done.

don't forget to include a sound that corresponds to a blank space. ie, silence for some amount time to indicate a new word.
