When trying to add a sound to a hover button following microsoft instructions
for (XP Pro SP2) frontpage 2003 the 'button properties' does not have a
'custom' so how do i add a rollover sound?

thanks in anticipation

Rob Scott

Ps

if it easier and you want to send me a page with a interactive button with
rollover sound done in frontpage I'm sure I should be able to work it back.

FP 2003 doesn't have the java applet rollover buttons; it now has
interactive buttons which are DHTML/Javascript (there's difference between
java and javascript; they are not related to each other except by similar
name).

AFAIK Interactive Buttons have no function to add sound for the
"OnMouseover" or "OnMouseDown" state of the buttons.

Hover Buttons are java applets and require Java Virtual Machine (from Sun
Microsystems); Operating systems from Win XP upwards don't include JVM by
default, so your buttons won't be useable by those without JVM.

Please note the difference between "hover buttons"(FP2002 & earlier) and
"interactive buttons" (FP2003). You seem to be confusing the issue by using
both terminologies in your post; which are you actually using? Hover
Buttons or Interactive Buttons?

Hope this is of some help.

Thank you Andrew, i'm using FP 2003 which as you correctly say is interactive
buttons but the instructions in 2003 refrer to hover buttons, i think it was
silly putting 2002 info in a 2003 product thats the only reason I thought
both names applied, not realiasing FP 2002 was the hover.

I sincerly thank you very much for explaining, incidently do you know of any
simple way i can get sound on buttons its for my school and we have some
visually impaired children and i thought sounds may help.

Hello,

Attach a behaviour to the button image.

Format > Behavior to show the Behaviour task pane

Select the button image, go to Behaviour task pane , Insert, Play Sound and
select the sound to play

Change the onClick event to onMouseOver by clicking on the entry in the
Behaviour task pane and selecting onMouseover from the dropdown menu.
