Linking a Sound to a
Graphic
You can link a sound file that has been saved in the ".AU"
format to any graphic on your page. The sound plays each
time you click the graphic. To link a sound to a graphic,
follow these instructions:
- Open Claris Home Page, if it's not already open.
- Open the page to which you want to add the sound.
- Choose Edit Page from the Window menu.
- Open the folder you're using to store sounds for your
Web site project.
- Arrange your desktop so that you can see both the
page you're working on and the sounds folder window.
- Drag the icon of the sound file you want to use to
your page. (You can drag the icon to any place on the
page.)
- Make sure the name of the sound file is selected on
your page, then choose Link to URL from the Insert menu.
- In the Link Editor window, make sure the text in the
URL field is selected, then choose Copy from the Edit
menu.
- Select the graphic that you want to link the sound
to.
- In the Link Editor window, select all of the text in
the URL field -- or if the field is empty, just click in
it.
- Choose Paste from the Edit menu.
- Select the name of the sound file (it should still be
where you dragged it in step 6), then press the Delete
key.
- Choose Preview in Browser from the File menu.
- When your page appears in the browser, click the new
link to test it.
Tips
|
To remove the colored border around a linked
graphic, do this: Choose Edit Page from the Window
menu, double-click the graphic, and type 0 in the
Border box.

When a user who's viewing your page in a browser
clicks the linked graphic, there will be a slight
delay before the sound plays, as the sound is
downloaded to the user's computer. The larger the
sound, the longer the delay.
