Emoticon audibles
February 26, 2008 on 1:18 pm | In Features, Fun Stuff |
Ever wondered what the the devil’s laugh would sound like when you send the emoticon? 
Or wished that you could send a loud emoticon smooch over to your sweetie on Yahoo! Messenger? 
Then you’re in luck! A few of our favorite emoticons have found a second career as audibles. Audibles are animated characters with sound that you can send to a friend while you IM. You’ll find eight emoticon audibles to choose from including the cowboy, happy face, the devil, and more.
To try out the new emoticon audibles, click the audibles icon (the one with the lips on it) above the text box in your IM window (Yahoo! Messenger 8.1 or 9.0 only). Click the More Audibles button on the right, then “See All Audibles”. Then select “Emoticons” from the list.
Emoticons, let your voices be heard.

Wow.. windows only of course, right? Why are there features for the Windows version that arent on the Mac version? Everyone knows by now that Macs are perfectly capable of doing the same things as Windows PCs are..

Until now i was using the ones from International -> Chinese -> Taiwan .I dont’ understand what they are saying but they look great
The new ones look cool. But i hope there will be more. My favorite is the “Angry” one.

These audibles appear to be .swf files. Is there some way I can run them on my Mac? Is it Flash? What version of Flash would play them? Could it be dragged into a Web browser? I use Adium, which displays a link to the .swf file, but clicking it doesn’t run anything. How do I run the .swf file?

Thanks.

Hi AP,
The Mac version does not have audibles in it. Only versions 8.1 or 9.0 Beta for Windows has them. Thanks,

hi Sarah,
the audibles in my messenger changed language to chinese. i don’t know how it happened. i used to have english audibles, i want ‘em back. i hope you can help me. thanx.
Comment by mackie — June 16, 2008 #
Hi Mackie,
To change your audibles back, just click on the audible icon in your IM window, and then select “More audibles” up in the top right portion of the audible screen. From here, you can select any of the other types of audibles you prefer, or, a different language (under the International folder).
Hope this helps!
Best,
Melissa
