Coloring Page Sound-tracks
You can spice up your coloring pages by using sound-tracks. You can have a sound-track that plays one or more times after a coloring page loads, and you can have another that plays before going to a new page.
The sound-tracks can be used for many things such as...
- Background music.
- Narration.
- Instructions.
- Sound effects.
For example, on a coloring page of a monkey you could do one of the followng...
- Play some "jungle rhythms" music.
- Have a narrator saying "Suddenly a monkey swung down from the tree".
- Have an audio instruction, "Color in the monkey. What color should his banana be?"
- Play an audio of a monkey chattering.
Adding Sound-tracks
Sound tracks should be in MP3 format, and are placed in the "pages" folder along wiith the coloring page images.
To tell the program which track to play include a track attribute on the appropriate page node in your coloring book XML file. You can also include a repeat attribute to tell it how many times to play.
If you want audio to play before going to a new page, include a trackout attribute.
Here is an example...
<page source="monkey.gif" track="monkeynoise.mp3" repeat="3" trackout="byebye.mp3"/>
If you don't specify any track, then the program plays the default page-swish sound for a new page. If you want no sound at all you can specify track="none".
