AU files for button hover sound?

[Matt Dulittle]

I tried mp3 and WAV versions of this clicking sound I
want for a hover over on some buttons, but when I
published no theres no noise. I noticed when it opens
folder browser to look for sounds, the default type is AU
Sound Files. Do I need a converter or something? Thanks.

From FP Help (2000):

Because hover buttons are actually Java applets, you can only use .au format
sound files for sound effects; you cannot use .midi or .wav files.
Furthermore, the .au files must be in 8-bit, 8000 Hz, mono, u-law format.

Note: Many users of Windows XP, IE6 and NS6 and up will not be able to see
the Hover button or any Java Applet, since a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is
not installed, but default.

You can convert the wav file with a program called Wav2Au(freeware)
