Does any1 know if its possible to link a sound to an image that only plays when the mouse goes over it?

 

[Russinating]

Yup, if you use Flash. Don't ask me how, I don't use it

 

[unwashed potato!]

sure jquery must be able to do this, have a search for jquery sound effect or something

It may be possible, but in most cases it's probably inadvisable. Users tend to get annoyed when sites make noises they don't expect, especially if there's no way to turn it off.

It can be done in Scriptaculous very easily.

I now know

Adding a sound - There's a couple of steps to adding a sound to a picture:
1. Add the sound itself to the page (you only need to do this once - and you can then reuse that sound over and over on different items).
2. Trigger the sound using the Picture's mouse-over event.

Step-by-step - you'll need a small .mp3 file of your audio:
1. Click the Import Direct to Page button on the toolbar to import your .mp3 file (Antenna will add a player to your page automatically).
2. Set its Auto-play and Loop properties to false to prevent it playing immediately.
3. Click on your Picture's Events property to open the code editor, and set the Mouse-over event to:
[#media av embed1].play();

...where media av embed1 is the actual name of the player object on the page (not the name of your .mp3 file!).
