Background music?

G

Guest

I've tried downloading 2 or 3 WAV music files from the internet. They
download and then ask me if I want to open or save the file. I save the file
in one of my web folders. When I right click though on my Front Page website
I'm creating and click in page properties then browse background sound it
appears as nothing was ever downloaded and saved? Does anyone know what I'm
doing wrong?

Embedding a sound file

TIP

When incorporating sound files in your web pages, carefully consider their
appropriate use in your web site, and how visitors to your site use these
media resources. Always provide a control to either enable or disable the
playing of the sound, in the event that visitors don't want to listen to the
audio content.


To embed an audio file:
In Design view, place the insertion point where you want to embed the file
and do one of the following:
In the Common category of the Insert bar, click the Media button and select
the plug-in icon.
Select Insert > Web Component> Advanced Controls> Plugin.

To see the "Play and Stop" change it to width=65 height=25 If you want to
see all of the controls use width=300 Height= 40.

To see a sample of sound files in action (using the .wma format) and
different control sizes try this.

I've been working on this for hours. I don't believe I have successfully
downloaded any .wma files. When I plug in any of the music it won't play in
preview or design view. Thanks for your reply.

Add a sound
1.. In Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click Design
..
2.. Right-click the page, and then click Page Properties on the
shortcut menu.
3.. On the General tab, under Background sound, locate and click the
sound file you want, and then click Open.

Important Some sound file formats, such as .mp3 files, are not
displayed in the dialog box. For these files, you must manually type the
path of the sound file in the dialog box. For example, if a file that is
named Song.mp3 is stored in a folder that is named Music, this is how the
path looks: Music/Song.mp3. If the file is located in the root, this is how
the path looks: Song.mp3


4.. Do one of the following:
a.. To play the sound continuously, select the Forever check box.
b.. To play the sound a fixed number of times, clear the Forever
check box, and then select or type the number of times you want the sound to
play in the Loop box.
5.. To save and preview the page, on the File menu, click Save.
Make sure that your speakers are working, and then click Preview in
Browser on the File menu.

Notes

a.. The larger the size of the file, the longer it takes to load the
page.
b.. This feature is not supported by all Web browsers.


OR

Add a plug-in
1.. In Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click Design
..
2.. On the Insert menu, click Web Component.
3.. In the Component type list, click Advanced Controls.
4.. In the Choose a control list, double-click Plug-In.
5.. In the Data source box, type the URL of the file for the plug-in
to load, or click Browse to locate the file.
6.. Select any other options you want.
