This is how i currently do it. You will need to include the ui.lua file

  
local ui = require ( "ui" )  
  
-- Note this assumes the audio files is in a folder named "audio"  
  
local ballsAppearSoundID = audio.loadSound( "audio/bbSwoosh.caf" )  
  
local playBallsAppearSound = function()  
  
 audio.play( ballsAppearSoundID )  
  
end  
  
-- This assumes the button images are contained in a folder named "images"  
  
local playSoundButton = ui.newButton{  
 default = "images/playSoundButtonDefault.png",  
 over = "images/playSoundButtonHighlight.png"  
}  
   
playSoundButton.x = 16; playSoundButton.y = 16  
  
  
local function clickPlaySoundButton ( event )  
  
 if event.phase == "ended" then  
  
 playBallsAppearSound()  
  
 end  
  
end  
  
playSoundButton:addEventListener("touch",clickPlaySoundButton)

Hope that helps. There may be a better / easier way to do this [import]uid: 7863 topic_id: 5144 reply_id: 17023[/import]

I have a template available here; http://buypremadeapps.com/Buy_Premade_Apps/Templates.html

Available with any donation amount.

Being a soundboard it’s got a number of buttons that play sounds, laid out very neatly :wink:

You may or may not want it but I figure it doesn’t hurt to put it out there :stuck_out_tongue: [import]uid: 10144 topic_id: 5144 reply_id: 17046[/import]
