Goose87 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Dear all, I am writing this message as I have looked on the internet but my searches have been fruitless. A user of my online game has asked me if I can add a sound notification to a timer that ticks down once every 5 mins or so (when they are playing). This means they could use another browser and it would let them know they can do another action. I have absolutely no knowledge on this area, so if someone could give me some reference material or push me in the right direction, I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance, Goose.

RussellReal Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 try with flash.. and also with flash its really simple to get it goin and the timer going but either way without flash you'd be hacking up browser hacks for bgsound elements, with flash you can even set up an externalInterface function and wait for javascript to tell the flash app to play a sound.. flash is the way to go.

Goose87 Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 don't i have to buy flash to do that? I've done no work with flash ever.. i'm just a self-taught php/mysql developer.. so i haven't had the opportunity to branch off in different directions yet.. could you give me some info and push me in the right direction for that please? i'd be extremely greatful.

RussellReal Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 coding flash is free.. you could probably use Ming from PHP to create flash that stream mp3s or other audio and stuff, although I never used Ming, flash the program though costs money.
