Description : Simple concept, a new button that plays the sound for the “Play a sound” and “Play a music” in the actions UI would be very useful.

Why this feature ?

  • If the preview applies the pitch and the volume specified in the parameters, it would be much more effective way to quickly tune a sound.
  • It’s often more effective to identify a sound with an audio preview than by filename, especially for medium/large projects or projects with several developers.

Sound preview is available in Construct3 and it does apply the volume parameter specified in the dialogue box :

It would be much easier then using jxfr to hear it!

I did try to use jfxr since there is a “edit with jfxr” button that appears when you import an audio file to see if it can work for preview. But as far as I’m aware this app only displays sounds saved within Jfxr itself. And the “open” button within the app doesn’t work either. At least it didn’t work with .wav files, but I suppose it’s only for .jfxr files made with the application as well.

There is a possible bypass: you click on the button “Choose a file” and when the files selector appears, you do a right click on the musical file.

You must then can to select a music tool If your computer is configurated for.
If so, you’ll hear the musical file.

A+

A preview button could be coming soon, I’ve made the addition and submitted the code for review.
