Windows Media File

[Guest]

I am having calls to add Windows Media Files (WMA) as background music for
several web clients. I am using Front Page 2002, with SP3 installed. Using
format background, it does not seem to recognize WMA files for music. Is
this an add-in for Front Page 2002, or do I have to upgrade the software. I
would like to use WMA instead of WAV files, because like midi files, they are
smaller.

You may need to add a Windows Media Player ActiveX control to your page,
Choose Insert, Web Components, Advanced Controls, ActiveX Controls, Next,
Windows Media Player, Finish. Then, right-click the control and choose
ActiveX Control Properties.

Under Source, specify the wma filename. Under Select A Mode, select
Invisible to prevent the control from taking up any on-screen space.
