I have created a my own sound file to use in "trick-the-turtle" however I keep getting unable to find the file error' I have opened the sound file and by clicking on the file played the sound. I have inserted the name of my sound file into the Greenfoot.playSound("slurp.wav") and still get the unable to find file error I am really stuck on this one. I do not want to go further until I get this sorted. Any advice would be appreciated.

Did you place the sound file within the 'sounds' folder within the scenario folder of that which you wish to play the sound from?

Yes - I am following the tutorial on "trick-the-turtle" . In lesson 12 you write the code for for inserting sound into the game. There are only 2 sound files provided in the resources sound file folder, ie "au.wav" and "slurp.wav". Both of the sound files work fine. I have put my sound file into the same folder. When I run my own sound within the coding of the tutorial I get an file not found error. I have put my sound file to replace "slurp.wav" and still there is the file not found error. I have opened the sound file which shows all three sound files, if I click on each one it opens and plays the sound. thank you for your reply rodr

If you placed the sound file properly within the project folder (in the 'sounds' folder), for example: "C://Greenfoot/scenario/trick_the_turtle/sounds/slurp.wav" and you used the exact filename -- "slurp.wav" (using exact case for all characters) -- then it should play during the running of your project.

rodr, perhaps try uploading your scenario (to this site) and link to it. Then we can have a look and see what's wrong.
