Adding a .ram file to play in my page

[Guest]

I am trying to add a sound clip to play and loop in my web page. The only
copy of this file I have is what is found below.

http://home.ec.rr.com/rightmer/2_rocks.ram

dig this..


<embed width="128" height="50"
src="http://home.ec.rr.com/rightmer/2_rocks.ram" loop="infinite"
start="fileopen"></p>

This is the last code I tried, and it actually got it to show up in my page.
But I want it to open on start, and also to be hidden if at all possible. I
can't find much help on this subject. I know that Frontpage boasts the
ability to run .ra and .ram files, so why won't this one work?

PLEASE help if you can.

Thanks in advance!

The "ram" file is not the actual audio file.

What you need to do is find the "rm" file as in "filename.rm" (rm= Real Media)
the "ram" file is so it can be streamed over the net.

The ram file is a text file that contains the full url to the rm file.

You link to the ram file in Frontpage, publish the html file, the ram file and
the rm file to the appropriate locations. Then click the link you made to the
ram file, it should open Real Player and stream the media (whether audio or video
etc).

Basically the above link says what I've just outlined, maybe in a little more
depth.
