Playing Sound from within a basic macro

[Fernand]

Needs some starting hint or maybe som code

to start playing a embedded sound in a writer doc

thanks for any hints

[Fernand]

nobody ?
found out that xraying the embededobject returns a "nullobject" do that means that this objects not can been handled by the API ?

Hi,

this is tested on XP, other OSs may vary.

Precondition is that you inserted the sound by
Insert/Object/OLE Object/Further Objects/OK/Select file ...

See the code as a hint ...

Good luck,

Do you think I could assign this code to a macro-button inside a OOBase Form and/or store sounds in the Database ? Could you provide general guidelines or code that you would think relevant ? Main problem is speed, each sound is a chinese caracter and last 1 second. How fast is your system running ?

I am also considering to do the opposite : embed sounds in the writer document in which I would include some access to chinese caracters from the database. Ths looks easier but less satisfactory than storing sound objects into the database itself.

I am only at the begining of the project and search for advices/guiline for sounds nevertheless all chinese characters are already stored with French translation.

Thanks for any help you could provide with.

Hi,

getting the byte array of a sound from database and directly embedding as a sound into the doc or form I have no idea how to achieve ...

I would go through a Beanshell macro and use the Java AudioSystem functions. This has also the advantage of better portability

Good luck,
