Make sure you are in Screen Editor mode (e.g. by double clicking on the background away from any objects), then click on File at the top left of the screen, move across Import and click on Script:

 
Now browse for the script onClick.js which is in C: Program Files/Adobe/Atmosphere/Extras/Scripts/Set_2_Intermediate and click on it to load it into your Scene Hierarchy.
 
Now do the same for the playSound.js script which is in C: Program Files/Adobe/Atmosphere/Extras/Scripts/Set_1_Basic 

Both these script should now be in your Scene Hierarchy. 

STEP 3: Select a sound for playSound.js to play 
Click on the script playSound.js to highlight it, and in the Scripting Inspector click on the variable URL to load it into the Properties box:
 
 
Now RIGHT click in the Value box and browse for a sound you'd like to play (there are lots of samples in C: Program Files/Adobe/Atmosphere/Extras/Audio):

 
Now click on runOnStartup in the Scripting Inspector, and when this appears in the Properties Name box type false into the Value box (this just stops the sound from playing at load time):

STEP 4: Set box as the target for onClick.js
Click on <Solid Object> in the Scene Hierarchy and in the Solid Object Editor create a new Primitive box (make it a large one so you can see it!):

Now click on the onClick.js script in the Scene Hierarchy to highlight it, and and in the Scripting Inspector click on the variable target to load it into the Properties box:

Now click on Mr. Whippy and drag him to <Box> in the Solid Object Hierarchy:

 
<Box>.this will now appear in the Value section of Properties to show that the box is now the target of this script i.e.clicking on the box will call this script.

STEP 5: Link onClick.js to playSound.js
Now:

• click on the down arrow alongside playSound in the Scene Hierarchy (to drop down its list of parameters)
• click on onClick script in the Scene Hierachy to show its parameters in the Scripting Inspector
• click on the parameter onClick in the Properties window of the Scripting Inspector to show it in the Name section
• click on Mr. Whippy and drag him to play <action> in the Scene Hierarchy

 
 
You can now see the words playSound.play in the Value window. This basically means that when the script onClick.js is called (by clicking on the box) the play function (i.e. <action>) of playSound.js will be called. This simply plays the sound whose URL we loaded earlier.

STEP 6:Save and Publish your world
Once you've finished adjusting all the settings it's time to Save and Publish your world:


STEP 7: Try it out!
Now load the published world and test it out - just click on the box and it should play the sound for you..
