Music file within page

[Naveed]

I have a registered version of pic2exe. Is there any system in this program that sound files start playing when we click on that and stop when we click on their link?I mean to say that sound files can be added to the project or page,but is there any option that we can play and stop the sound file in the page on our own?I want to create ABC learning program for kids so that they may be able to listen to the letters by clicking on individual letters icon.Ps help.

Hi, Naveed,

Welcome to the Forum!

You can achieve this by having identical images one after the other. For 26 letters you would need 3 x 26 = 78 identical images. On the first image of each set of three add button objects for each letter, "programmed" to go to the appropriate second image of the set of three representing each letter.

On the second image of the set for each letter, add the sound clip representing that letter (using either customize slide or the "sound" line on the main window). Arrange to have the show advance to the next (third) image for that set after the appropriate time.

For the third image, in customize slide, go to the music tab and check "Play background music" but do not add a music file. That will stop the previous sound clip. (Also, in Project Options, if you are using the "sound" line to add your music file, make sure "Don't interrupt sound comment..." is not checked.) If the buttons are copied from one slide to another, they will appear in the same place, and one will not notice that the slides have changed. Have fun!

Here is another way:

Main show: one slide with all alphabet images.

Second show: 26 slides, no effects, don't allow slide to change. On each page put sound of the letter.

Back to main show: each letter click will run the second show with different parameter to open in different page.

Example:

When click on the image of "C" on main show you will run this command:

"Run external application" >>> SecondShow.exe 3

when the sound of "C" is on the slide number 3 of second show.

Hope I was clear.

Sorry Granot, I do not follow your instructions at all. Can you be a little more specific please.

Sorry, I knew it maybe not so clear. Let's start again.

Suppose you want to make a show for children with all images of the abc... total of 26 characters, and when you click on one, you can hear the sound file, how it is pronounce.

First you make MAIN show with one slide. On this slide you put all the 26 images of the alphabet.

Then you make a Second show (Sounds.exe) with 26 slides. You use no effects and don't allow slide to go to next after x seconds. This show can be in the size of 50 x 50 pixels. On each slide you put a leter image in that size:

On slide 1 image of "A", on slide 2 image of "B" etc.

You customize all slides and on each slide you use a background music:

On slide 1 the sound of "A" and on slide 2 the sound of "B" etc.

Back to MAIN show.

Under the image of "A" you use in "Action" >>>

>>>"Run application or open file" ...and you write:

Sounds.exe 1

On the image of "B" you write: Sounds.exe 2

On the image of "C" you write: Sounds.exe 3

Notice there is a space between "Sounds.exe" and "3"

This is only the basics. Now you can modify it as you like, for example, if you use on "Sounds.exe" image object you can add an "Exit" action and use windowed mode without border, and so on.

I'm greatfull to Igor who added this feature in this last version and I'm sure many members can find a good use for it. And I hope (Igor, are you there ?) that I will see my other requests in the future

Ron, this gave me idea for new PTE utility.
