These are my thoughts on the construction of a simple Audio Player that works across Variants and has a bit more oomph than the Xara-generated one.
This approach embeds the MP3 into the Xara .XAR / .WEB file directly, which makes it easier for collating all the assets into one file but the file size can therefore grow quite large.

Great idea Acorn,
I will give it a test drive.
One question: you are using Pro+ now - I have stayed put with v17 (for all the reasons I and others have documented in the Pro vs Pro+ threads).
When I open the .XAR, I receive the now familiar warning: From my tests with Pro+ Beta1 and Beta2, I am assuming I can ignore the warning message on this occasion?

Thanks,

It is simply reporting the Xara version number is newer.Quote:

Hi Acorn, thank you for sharing, it's nice and I like the moving effect. But I can't understand the scaling. I change the dimension of the place holder but the player is always truncate in the preview and when I preview in Google the scale is good bit the skin change.
@acorn. My apologies Acorn for resurrecting this thread. I'm going to use the simple player that you posted above, rather than the much larger and complex one posted a short time ago. I really need something quick and easy.
One question - where do I place the mp3 file once I have the code in my placeholder. I do not enjoy the drag n' drop that Xara supplies. Thank you very much for answering.

Bill, I placed all the Design Notes in the Variant in a special layer.Quote:
