2. Re: Can you play a sound using a script in Photoshop?
Thanks, but I'm looking to play a sound from a file rather than just the default error noise, any pointers?

You could play a music file, as an example.
var music = new File("/E/Music/Country/Sundown.mp3"); if(music.exists) music.execute(); -

Then you should have asked how to play a sound file rather then play and alert.
try{
var Sound = new File("C:/Windows/Media/tada.wav");
Sound.execute();
}catch(e){
alert("Can Not Play Sound");
};
This depends on system file associations. If there is a player associated with the file extension it should open and play the sound. It may also remain open after the sound is over, or may loop playing the sound repeatly

Awesome! This is definitely more of the idea, although it opens up windows media player, to play. It would be used in a batch, so I wouldn't necessarily want to have to open a program every time, but it does make sense as I'm unaware if there's a default background player for PC and mac. Otherwise I did find documentation on flash, and in using Window, and adding flash player to it, I'm able to get the desired sound to play. However I tried using a relative path from the script to the swf, and it came back with an error. I had to place the swf on my desktop to test correctly. Is there a way to use relative paths?
win.preview = win.add ('flashplayer',undefined,'~/Desktop/test.swf');

You need the full path if it relative to the script you can get the scripts path
alert(File($.fileName).parent.fsName);
