Using sounds with FrontPage 2003

Guest · Jul 20, 2005

I would like to add sound as background on all pages but give visitors the
choice to click on a mute button. How can I do it?

Stefan B Rusynko · Jul 21, 2005

1) Make sure the sound files are inserted using a Named Embed tag (usually just before the </body> tag)

<embed src="soundfile.mid" name="theNoise" id="theNoise" autostart="true" loop="true" width="0" height="0" hidden align="center">

2) Insert a link to turn the sound off

<a href="javascript:killNoise();">No Sound (or insert an image here)</a>

3) Insert this one of these scripts in the HEAD section of each page

FOR FRAMED PAGES USE:
<script language="JavaScript" language="JavaScript"></script>

FOR UNFRAMED PAGES USE:
<script language="JavaScript" language="JavaScript"></script>

Interesting,

I too would like to add a button to stop music.

I tried this in a table:
<tr id="music">
<th>
<input type="button" class="top" value="Hide
Player"
onclick="hideit('music')";
parent.index_main.embeds['theNoise'].stop(); return
false;>
<embed src="minuet.mid" id="theNoise" name="theNoise"
width="144" height="45" autostart="true" loop="false"></embed>
</th>
</tr>

where the frame is named index_main and
function hideit(elid)
{document.getElementById(elid).style.display="none"}

It hides the button, but does not stop the music

Any ideas why not?

P.s. I also tried document.top['index_main'].embeds['theNoise'].stop()

A P.S.

My music sometimes plays very slowly. I assume this has to do with
retrieving the file, although it also happens in my local web.

Is there a way to pre-load it, and will this help?

If you preload it, then it will slow the page loading of the page you are calling it from as it
loads.

Yes, I thought that would be the case, but nonetheless, what is the code I
should use to preload a .mid file as distinct from a .jpg file .

Even if it is the same , could you please jog my memory?

Create the script in your pages
<script language="JavaScript" language="JavaScript"></script>

Then add the button as
<form>
<input type="button" class="top" value="Stop Player" onclick="killNoise();hideit('music')";>
</form>

It would be the same code use to preload images. I never preload items, so I can not provide you
with any code. Just do a search for JavaScript Preload Scripts.

Thanks, Stefan.

I had thought of placing the function outside the onclick ="" and then
calling it. But I didn't try it until now.

I now have this
<head>
.....
<script type="text/javascript">
function killNoise() { parent.index_main.embeds['theNoise'].stop(); return
false; }
</script>
....
</head>

<body>
....
<input type="button" class="top" value="Hide
Player"
onclick="killNoise();hideit('music')";>
<embed src="minuet.mid" id="theNoise" name="theNoise"
width="144" height="45" autostart="true" loop="false"></embed>
....

When I click I get an error
'parent.index_main.embeds.theNoise' is null or nor an object

The button doesn't hide and the music doesn't stop

I also enclosed <input > ... </embed> in <form></form> and it made no
difference.

I can't see why the object is not recognised. I am using IE6 under XP Home
SP2

I will keep this to use for images. (I think it would be useful in a few

I assume I don't use: ImageList[counter].src = ImageSrc[counter];

Trevor, you can name the functions anything, so ImageList should still work for .mid files

A P.S.

My music sometimes plays very slowly. I assume this has to do with
retrieving the file, although it also happens in my local web.

Is there a way to pre-load it, and will this help?

Thomas,

It wasn't so much the names of the functions that I was concerned about, but
the fact that there is a statement
ImageList[counter].src = ImageSrc[counter];

When I am not using Image files, wouldn't the suffix .src be incorrect?

The frame index_main had this code

I tried a second ago, and it didn't fail (i.e. no jscript error message) but
the music didn't stop.

To add a small/large part of Windows MediaPlayer, only use this little part
of code:

<EMBED
SRC="Mix1.wav"
HEIGHT=30 WIDTH=79>
Paste as html, and use your own src pointing on your audio/video file.
This will only show a Pause/Start and Stop button + the slider, the music
(or also a video) will start when the site is loading. Try with using
different sizes, the more width the more of the players buttons, more hight -
if you wants to show a video, there is some specifications about the size,
but its better to test some.., if you don't want the slider, just change the
size.
Had to seek a long time to find this very simple but useful way of adding
buttons/player.
It is so simple as it looks (!) - missing it in the online help from MS,
where its not much about audio or video.
Got some video showing on my site, sometimes audio only :
http://Robyn.Makes.It/
Still astonished over what this short code can produce, have seen examples
with loads of scripts just to add a button. You can also add: loop="true"

Correct, Stefan

The frame index_main had this code
<embed src="minuet.mid" id="theNoise" name="theNoise"
width="144" height="45" autostart="true" loop="false"></embed>

and the music plays in this frame

I thought of using
top.document.index_main.embeds['theNoise'].stop();

I tried a second ago, and it didn't fail (i.e. no jscript error message) but
the music didn't stop.

This is confusing

And the Embedded sound files are in the pages displayed in the framed
named index_main?

Thanks, Stefan.

I had thought of placing the function outside the onclick ="" and
then calling it. But I didn't try it until now.

I now have this
<head>
....
<script type="text/javascript">
function killNoise() { parent.index_main.embeds['theNoise'].stop();
return false; }
</script>
...
</head>

<body>
....
<input type="button" class="top" value="Hide Player"
onclick="killNoise();hideit('music')";>
<embed src="minuet.mid" id="theNoise" name="theNoise"
width="144" height="45" autostart="true" loop="false"></embed>
...

When I click I get an error
'parent.index_main.embeds.theNoise' is null or nor an object

The button doesn't hide and the music doesn't stop

I also enclosed <input > ... </embed> in <form></form> and it made
no difference.

I can't see why the object is not recognised. I am using IE6 under
XP Home SP2

Create the script in your pages
<script language="JavaScript" language="JavaScript"></script>

Then add the button as
<form>
<input type="button" class="top" value="Stop Player"
onclick="killNoise();hideit('music')";> </form>

Interesting,

I too would like to add a button to stop music.

I tried this in a table:
<tr id="music">
<th>
<input type="button" class="top" value="Hide Player"
onclick="hideit('music')";
parent.index_main.embeds['theNoise'].stop();
return false;>
<embed src="minuet.mid" id="theNoise" name="theNoise"
width="144" height="45" autostart="true" loop="false"></embed>
</th>
</tr>

where the frame is named index_main and
function hideit(elid)
{document.getElementById(elid).style.display="none"}

It hides the button, but does not stop the music

Any ideas why not?

P.s. I also tried
document.top['index_main'].embeds['theNoise'].stop() --

1) Make sure the sound files are inserted using a Named Embed tag
(usually just before the </body> tag)

<embed src="soundfile.mid" name="theNoise" id="theNoise"
autostart="true" loop="true" width="0" height="0" hidden
align="center">

2) Insert a link to turn the sound off

<a href="javascript:killNoise();">No Sound (or insert an image
here)</a>

3) Insert this one of these scripts in the HEAD section of each
page

FOR FRAMED PAGES USE:
<script language="JavaScript" language="JavaScript"></script>

FOR UNFRAMED PAGES USE:
<script language="JavaScript" language="JavaScript"></script>

message I would like to add sound as background on all pages but give
visitors the choice to click on a mute button. How can I do it?
