Default MP3 Music running at the background - 06-22-2004 , 04:33 PM






Hello,
I inserted MP3 music on my website. I want the music to automatically run
each time the website is uploaded. Instead the icon of the MP3 comes up and we
need to press the play button to run.
How can I make the MP3 run automatically each time the page is loaded?

Thanks for your help!

First, ask yourself if your end-users really want this. This is usually more
annoying than anything.

Now, if you want to do it, you need to somehow put the music into a page
that doesn't reload. You can do that a number of ways:

- pup up the music in a separate window
- create a frameset and put the music in one frame
- create the whole site as one flash file

All of the above options raise other issues, of course...so you need to
weigh the pros and cons.

If you decide to go forward with it, I'd then suggest embedding the MP3
inside of a flash movie, with playback controls in the flash file. This will
give you the most consistent user experience cross-browser/platform
