Thank you so much Gary! The workbook topic item on embedding a sound file was great! I tried it and it worked fantastically! And thanks to Steve for providing the Pazera link!

Slight problem with playing audio .swf on page loading - it works in IE8 and Chrome but not FF3

Any ideas?

**gwpriester** · 17 August 2009, 04:05 PM

You might check your settings and make sure you have a Flash player installed. It works in my copy of FF.

**zaphodeist** · 17 August 2009, 04:38 PM

Flash player installed and Flash plays OK. Must be another setting somewhere.

EDIT Found that one .swf works in FF, one doesn't

**zaphodeist** · 17 August 2009, 04:54 PM

Ah Ha! Sorted! I had applied 99.5% transparency to the placeholder - remove this and the .swf works!

PS Yes, I know the placeholder is not visible ... I have no idea why I applied the transparency

Interesting quirk though.

Very interesting, John.

Nice tutorial Gary. I liked it very much.

Another tip on the stretchy text panels (if you want to constrain a panel's width, for a website say) then you can use a text column instead of just freeform text. That couppled with keeping the horozontal axis from extending makes for a nice adjustable length text panel that will fit in with the rest of a website.
