Click to play audio setting

[dogear]

I want to insert three audio .swf files into my web site so that the audio plays ONLY when I click on the individual play buttons.

I inserted one .swf audio file on to my page and it auto created the place holder and I re-named the layer "click on play intro." I placed a play button from the design gallery on to my page. In the Mouse-Off group of that button, I then went to the web properties palette, to the link tab, I selected the pop-up layer and chose "play on click intro". When I preview my page, the audio file starts playing as soon as the page comes up. How do I get the audio to play only after I click the button and also stop when I click the button again. Currently, my three audio files all play at the same time when I go to preview. What/where is the setting/step I'm missing? Thanks in advance for your help. I'm using XDP 6.

Welcome to TalkGraphics dogear

I think you need to embed an audio player. There have been quite a few posts about this. You can find them if you search the forum for audio players. Also there are quite a number of free and shareware audio players you can find if you search on Google.

Thanks for your reply Gary.

My website, www.dogearaudio.com has had the current audio files play just fine when I built the site using WD over a year ago. 9 months ago I got the Web Design Pro version and I recently tried to update my site with new audio files, however, it's not behaving the same. I am again following the tutorial that Sledger posted, but not getting the same results. When I preview the newest page, the audio starts up as soon as the page is up instead of waiting until I click the play button.

I'll look at some free audio players. If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks,

Pat
