Visual Basic 2010 Express Tutorial 21 - Playing Sound Files - SpeakABCs 5/11

[skoolzout1]

Is there a way to make the sound files a part of the.exe file?? in other words combine the sound file into the .exe so that there is no folder after building the project??? if there isnt then is there a way to automatically send the sound files to the computers %Temp% folder?? i want to create a project that has sound and i want to distribute it to my friends but i dont want them to mess the sound files up or accidentlyMove them, so could someone tell me how to do either of my ideas?OranotherWay

Help! I can't find the sound files! Would someone end me the link?

it was awsome dude...

[glaserhonza]

Okay, you can do it much easier than playing a sounds! -ENTER- means end of the line

Sub speak (byval text as string) - next line -

dim speech as object = createobject ("sapi.spvoice") -next line -

speech.speak(text) -next line -

end sub

-next line -

You can call this sub and give any text as an argument - > speak("Hello")

[jaloulyify]

[334anoniem]

When I run it, the sound can't be played. It closes and shows an error

What do I have to do?

[SchoolFreeware]

@334anoniem What is the error message? Also, the code can be downloaded at SchoolFreeware's website.

[334anoniem]

@SchoolFreeware It says something like "It's not valid wave" something like that.

Thanks works well but when i send to my friends, it don't play sounds. plz help

@crendix *rolls eyes* its because they don't have the .wav on their hard disk... if u were to publish your creation and they were to install it you would need to put the audio file within the package and have it saved into the same folder as the the actual .exe . Think before you ask comments , how in stallmans name would your program be able to get resources from an external machine without you using some sort of remote connection

[MySpamPost]

@crendix you send the .exe file?

[MySpamPost]

@crendix they need the sound too

[Randomsheit]

[johntajho]

Where is the value of StartupPath set? Can it be changed? Why is it set to a debug folder by default?

Thanks.
