Sound

Definition

A multimedia component that plays sound files and optionally vibrates for the number of milliseconds (thousandths of a second) specified in the Blocks Editor. The name of the sound file to play can be specified either in the Designer or in the Blocks Editor.

For supported sound file formats, see Android Supported Media Formats.

This Sound component is best for short sound files, such as sound effects, while the Player component is more efficient for longer sounds, such as songs.

Properties

MinimumInterval

Specifies the minimum interval required between calls to Play, in milliseconds. Once the sound starts playing, all further Play calls will be ignored until the interval has elapsed.
