How Can I Add A Sound To A Button

Hi jacksparrow and J.A. Whye.

I just wanted to say thank you to both of you for your advises.

I wanted to make apps, just like my books, to help people to learn something while they play.

I had no idea at all, about one month ago.

I took 7 courses on Lynda.com (HTML, CSS, CSS for developers, javaScript, iOS developers, Programming with Objetive-C, iOS essentials) I did not understood at first. (A lot of new words to me “Instance”“arguments”“call a fuction” etc) when you already know something is so easy…

I have tried to read something on Xcode in the developers guide, it’s so difficult I just don’t understand anyhting. I have 5 PDF that I download, they all think you already have to know something, and where is that something?

I called UCIrvine, ATT instute, The arts institute, San Jacinto College, even UCLA for summer lessons, and nothing, they don’t even have that program to learn how to make an app.

I have watched more than 100 videos on youtube, I have learn some from there, but I just have a little bit here and a little bit there, The programming books, all they say is how to create a fuction, or how to name a variable, or how to make a switch or a if statement, but they don’t give you real life examples in how to apply the knowlage.

I will see the book you reccomend me, thank you for that, and believe me I don’t want to be all over you and asking how do I turn on the computer. But I’m trying so hard to UNDERSTAND how THINGS WORK, and use THE LOGIC for all these.

I have learned a lot I would think, for just ONE MONTH on this new world.

By the way I already got the sound problem resolved, now I need to make the FAMOUS storyboard make it work!

Thanks for everything

Hi Victor,

In your “config.lua” file, do you have the “width” setting as the lesser value, and the “height” as the higher value? For example:

[lua]

content = 

{

    fps = 30,

    width = 768,

    height = 1024,

    scale = “letterbox”,

    xAlign = “center”,

    yAlign = “center”,

}

[/lua]

Victor, 

That eBook came out before there was such a thing as Storyboard.  I am covering storyboard in the new textbook and will address storyboard in the next update of the book you have.

Glad you got it to work!

Victor,

after that message, and even before that message we are here to help. Very inspirational to see ho hard you are trying indeed! so you have the right attitude and thats all that matters.

This book takes you from the begining and is very easy to read, as i said all the chapters categorised. However, its also important to have a vision, so you dont learn things you dont need.

Although the exposure is good from your first 7 courses, (HTML, CSS, CSS for developers, javaScript, iOS develo… etc) these are usually very difficult for someone without a background in programming, but nothing you do is a waste, even if it opened your eyes to a little bit of this new world.

heres my advise, especially since i have a degree in Computer Science (hons).

Lua, the language corona is using now, is the BEST for you to start with. dont focus anymore on those other courses. SOmetimes you have to cut through the forest to find the gold.

Read the ebook link i sent you, its not that expensive as an ebook, but the value is great, its very easy to read, very clear, and has specific chapters that you want to know about.

You have done well so far. But If you keep going, your work will get too complicated for you to be able to control or debug later.

Stop for a while, and get this book, and give it a good read, read the overview, pick some chapters that apply to you and get a feel, it explains topics nicely. that will give you a vision, as to what you want to do.

I am a working SAP developer in South Africa, I have a day job, but because i support siblings, ive taken up Corona app development to release my first game to make some money, Even though Im desperate to do it NOW and release ASAP, i know I have to read and understand, it will make it easier once you sit down to code, you will know what you’re doing, and will save you time from posting in forums and waiting.

From what ive read you want to make Interactive digital Ebooks with animations that tell a story?

If this is your situation - there is a 3rd party app that Built just for COrona called KWIK. It can bring your books to life without code or WIth code - works with corona - check it out

http://www.kwiksher.com/

Hope this helps. Keep going, you are not alone :slight_smile: we are all in the same boat!!!

Good luck, feel free to ask questions!!

Thank you Jacksparrow:

One question, once I finish the app in Corona (Because I will finish it) Do I have to pay a membership or a fee to corona to have the app on the apple store or android? and if so, how much do I have to pay a year? or a month? is it like a web-site that I have to pay a hosting fee? please let me know how this work, and I already bought the book, I’m going to start reading it.

As for kwiksher… I really like that, I just need to put photoshop on my mac first, but I really like that program.

Thanks.

Victor

P.S. let me know about the app you are making, good luck with that!

I just know that I will make my app, I just know that, even if is the last thing I do on earth, I will…

Thanks for all your help, I will put your name in the credits in my app to thank you for all you do.

Hi Victor,

I’m sorry you had problems! 

You should have received an email with the download link, even if the page load failed.

The problem on reaching me was the URL in the email address: should have been burtonsmediagroup.com

I just checked my system and paypal. It doesn’t look like you were charged or that the order was processed.

If you want to contact me directly, I’ll be happy to work with you to complete the purchase.

My personal email is DrBurton [at] BurtonsMediaGroup.com

Also, you might consider my new book since you are very new to programming: http://www.burtonsmediagroup.com/books/learning-mobile-application-development/

Hi Dr. Burton

I just wrote an e-mail and look:

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

     DrBurtons@burtonsmediagroup.com

Technical details of permanent failure:

Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain burtonsmediagroup.com by burtonsmediagroup.com. [173.254.22.48].

The error that the other server returned was:

550 No Such User Here

It looks like it’s almost impossible to get to your e-mail. I know technology is very dificult

I have 4 e-mails you can contact me any time:

victortvcityads@gmail.com

helloworld2013d@gmail.com

californiamusicconservatory@gmail.com

victorbarba@easymusicschool.com

I really hope that someday i can read your book, I really want to learn, like Brent wrote – the “proper” way

PAYPAL DID TAKE THE MONEY you can double check with them, you know how they are…

I try to file a dispute, but after 45 min on the phone I got NOTHING, only background music

I guess today it’s a sad day, things are not as good, but that’s okay, I will wait for that book.

I just hope it’s not like a wall paper I order from HOME DEPOT, it’s been 45 days waiting to get a roll of wall paper for my office, and still I DON’T HAVE IT, 45 days just to get one roll of wall paper…

I know…

Anyway Dr. Burton, I will be waiting…

Yea!  Glad you were able to get the book Victor!

Start reading with chapter 1.  If you find any of the programming concepts challenging, please let me know and I will swap the book out with my new book that is for those who are learning to program while they develop their first mobile app.

It is a longer book, but goes into much greater detail about the fundamentals of programming.  It is a textbook and has already been adopted by many high schools and universities.

Please let me know if you have any questions or challenges.  The best way to reach me is via email.
