Audio with xara slideshow widget?

[rikkoshea]

Hi, using WD11p, I am using Xara slideshow widgets on my website and they work well, however, am wondering if audio (eg. background music) can be added in some easy way? I don't see it as an option although I realise it's available in some other software on the web that I've used before, but I prefer the Xara widget. Thanks, Rikko

Rikko, just drag & drop an MP3 onto your Page background. You then get an option to Auto start:


You can hide the control bar on the page or search for details around magix_player.js, which are very limited.

Auto or audio? I'm totally confused here.

Gary, the Auto start button option means the MP3 audio track you imported onto the page automatically starts, as background, when the page is viewed in a browser.

I do hope we don't get too many sites offering this as it is an insult to the ears, just as colour and graphics are an insult to the eyes (if done excessively).

it's also disregarding where the visitor may be, or what else they may be doing, when they land on the page

Agree with Acorn and handrawn about audio that starts automatically. However, the member's question is, is there any way to add audio to the Xara Slideshow.

Is there?
