Linking to sound files

[dicandpauline]

Hi. I am a complete newcomer to this. Many years ago I created a web site (with Microsoft Front Page 2000) in which I created a list of words in English and Welsh. When I rolled over the Welsh word it linked to a sound file which then "spoke" the Welsh word. Is this possible in either Web designer 5 or 6?
Hope so
Thanks for looking
Richard

As it happens Gary ...

Hi Richard

[1] Download PAZERA flash converter (http://www.pazera-software.com/produ...ash-converter/)
[2] Convert audio to .swf
[3] create new layer named 'audio1' (for example)
[4] On layer 'audio1', add a placeholder object and 'Replace with flash file' choosing your converted audio file from step 2.
[5] Hide the 'audio1' layer
[6] On the mouseoff layer create your 'Translate' link and in the 'mouseover' tab of web properties, link it to the 'audio1' layer.
[7] Preview and test.
[8] Publish

Optional. If you want an arrow pointer when hovering over the text, add # to the 'Link to web address'

Nice trick
Will the sounds stop when the popup is closed too, or continue playing until finished?

Can't remember now Not on my PC atm cos it has died on me, using a laptop and haven't got the program to test it

[zaphodeist]

There is no popup to close. It's a mouseover. The audio will stop if you move the mouse away
