Play a sound on click

Use a click handler to play one of the sprite’s sounds whenever the player interacts with it.

whenClicked(() => {
  startSound("meow");
});

Replace "meow" with the name of any sound added to the sprite in the editor.

Note

startSound fires and continues immediately — the script does not wait for the sound to finish. If you need the next line to run only after the sound ends, use playSoundUntilDone instead.

whenClicked(() => {
  playSoundUntilDone("meow");
  say("Done!");
});

Try this next

• Say hello when clicked — show a speech bubble at the same time as the sound
• Animate a sprite with costumes — play an animation while the sound runs

Functions used

• whenClicked — run code when this sprite is clicked
• startSound — start playing a sound without waiting
• playSoundUntilDone — play a sound and wait until it finishes
• say — show a speech bubble
