Background Music - HTML & CSS

[DoctorChicago webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Is there a way to place background music in Dreamweaver MX without having to use a mp3 embedded flash movie?

First of all, really think twice about doing that. ;o)

Secondly, the Flash method is probably the best in terms of both end-user
and developer friendliness. Some browser support background music and/or
midi, but it becomes difficult to make it work in all browsers and the
end-users tends to loose control. If you're going to put sound on a site you
REALLY want to make sure the end-user can shut it off easily.

one more question, I made movie with music in bacground. Sound is in first
frame on scene but first frame is also beginning of presentation so when I
click on button to go from frame 25 to frame 1 it play sound over the first
(which start with presentatiom). So any time I go back to first frame he
plays again. So after 5-6 comeback to first frame I hear multiple sound. How
to avoid this

Just remove the background sound file name from the background sound option.
Location of which differs by version which you didn't specify.

Depending on what format your music is in you may be able to convert it to a
smaller sized format.

I have 3 music files on my webpage. One plays while the page is loading -
that's a .wav file and is the biggest in size. I also have a midi and an mp3
music on my pages as well and the mp3 is definitely the smallest in size.

Add and action to frame (25) using the stop sound. That way the music will
stop and start up again in frame (1).

Hope this helps

I know this is a pretty dumb problem, but I can' t seem to get my background
music to play continously through a presentation.
With changing movies I want to keep a continous background music. When the
presentation changes to the next movie, the music stops, What should I do
Thanks a billion

Make sure you have the Loop property on in your properties window while
