Re: problem with BGSound and FP albums

That is normal action - the background sound will stop when you click on
a link.
There are two ways to make the sound continuous - both have there
drawbacks.

1) Frames - Use a frameset with 2 frames, one very small (2px wide), the
other large. Place the sound in a page with no other content that loads
into the small frame, and the website (or gallery) loads into the other
frame.

2) A pop-up window to host a page with sound. This can only be
reliably opened from a clickable link - the onload event will fail in
many browsers.
