Guys,

I know you'll cane me for this..but time is a factor.

I'm looking for a pre written script that will play WAV files in both Netscape and IE when an object (link or whatever) is pressed, that I can drop into a page.

Please help.

Regards,

Paul

Ouch, I'm not sure I've done that before but what version of Netscape? 4 or 6?

We have done so.

Bug,

I can get background sounds with autostart OK, but what i want is to ba able to change the src of the file and play it.

Example..

<body>

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function playSnd(){
n=document.getElementsByName('snd')
window.status=n[0]
n[0].play()
}
//-->
</script>
<embed name="snd" src="enter.wav" autostart="false" loop="0" width="10" height="10" align="center" controller="false"></embed>

<b onclick="playSnd()">play</b>

</body>


Works in IE, not NN...

If you can use flash then you'll save yourself a lot of pain. From what I remember there's never been a suitable cross browser way to have event driven sounds in web pages apart from using flash. I could be wrong though.

I just resurrected some code I had that worked in NN4 and played wav files but unfortunately it's not working in Mozilla

Yes, I remember the LiveAudio thingy for NN4. That's what I used. It was kind of cool but trying to keep sounds cross-browser just got too hard so I gave up on them.

I found some code that plays aif files from the browser and when I loaded up Mozilla to see how it would do it said:

"This browser is not equipped for scripted sound. Requires Navigator 3.x, 4.0-4.5, or 4.7-4.9." I read somewhere else that earlier versions of Mozilla weren't going to support LiveConnect. I'm using Mozilla 1.0 ~sigh~

Man, it's a pain to have to access the plugin like that. But it is possible and that is the key. pwhitrow, who is your audience? How confident are you that your NN6 users will have the appropriate plugins installed?

Damn...seemed such a simple problem at first...

I think I'm gonna have to forgo the Netscape side of things for now...
