Select the Audio Control bar and open its Placeholder body.
Remove the word controls and add an id. My example: <audio class="xar_meplayer" id="lorryreverse" src="index_htm_files/car.mp3" width = "100%" height="100%"/>
Resize the control to 30 x 30 px.
Keep it handy.

Now create a button or text link. here I am just going to describe a button with a click link.
In Link > Link to Web or Email address, put: javascript: document.getElementById("lorryreverse").play();

You can now do one of two things:

  1. Hide the control under the button and soft group both.
  2. Place the control to the right. I recommend this as when either it or the button is clicked, the Pause control is shown so a punter can quickly kill the raucous noise. Again, soft-group to keep things together.

Wow, thanks for the quick replies.

EB: I had tried hiding it under another image, but didn't like not knowing where it is and then couldn't figure out how to bring back to the front

Acorn: Thanks so much, will try that out... maybe a dumb question, but what does "soft group" both mean? ...Just learning Webdesigner 15
