I want to make a piano picture (which I have already) to play a different note for each key that is clicked on and once a special song is played a new part of the site opens up. How do i do that?:confused:

I'd do that with Flash.

Do you have Flash?

[youlilsheshe]

no how do i get flash and what do i do once i have it?

[edelmatt]

Flash is a Macromedia application, which makes .swf files.

You can get a trial version here: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=studiomx

It actually takes a fair amount of time to learn how to use Flash, plus it is rather expensive if you want to buy it. But it is very well suited to the type of interactive feature you described.

At any rate, regardless of whether you use Flash or JavaScript, you will need the actual sounds. Do you have recorded piano sounds already? If so, what sound format are they in?

I dont have sounds yet. Can't i do this with Javascript? I would be way easier for me.

I do not believe so. And, even if you could, it would be most difficult, and not available to 13% of the people browsing the internet.

ohhhhh is there another program that does that? Thats Free!

Depending on the picture size, you could use an image map and map each key. Then have the onclick method for each reference a function to play the sound.
