mp3 Help Please

[todrut]

So I got a website built and uploaded, now I'm try to add and perfect it a bit. I added an mp3 to a page. Works ok but it keeps repeating. How can I make it just play once while on the page? I can't find any tools for mp3's

Welcome to TalkGraphics

I think you will need to add a script to your file. I have no idea how to do this but do check back because I am sure one of the members will have the answer to this.

If you have dropped the mp3 onto your design page, Xara will have created a Placeholder.

Select the player Placeholder and right-click and click on the Edit widget....
Click the HTML code (head) button.

Find the params varible and insert "playLoop": false, immediately after "autoplay":false,:

var params={"path":"index_htm_files/","playlist":[{title:"e301_2013j_aug001.mp3",
mp3:"index_htm_files/e301_2013j_aug001.mp3",
duration:104}],
"skinType":"flat",
"skinColor":"darkglow",
"containerID":"3a5f61b9-5e53-4403-9a0c-bde3d54270b0",
"pre":"3a5f61b9-5e53-4403-9a0c-bde3d54270b0",
"autoplay":false,
"playLoop": false,
"showPlaylist":false,
"activateKeys":false,
"fileType":"audio"
};

Then click the OK and the Apply buttons.

P.S. Try Google with site:www.talkgraphics.com/ "playLoop": false,
The earlier solution to this seems to be through Steve Ledger.

this is what I have put in code, playloop was not there so I added it.

It needs to be "playLoop": false, the L is a capital!

Yes, even a missing comma can mess it up. Good find Acorn.
