Music Help

[Inuyasha2087]

How do I add a second music to my Xanga other than the background sound, which I already have? I was wondering if it was possible to delay my second MP3 file.

PS: I have a second question: Is it possible to add more music by delaying their starting time?

Thanks!!

Just change all instances of YOURFILEHERE with the filename of your music, for example "music.mp3".

Hope this helps

Hi again! Wow thanks for the super fast reply!

I would like to ask two questions though since I'm not really sure how to use the code you gave me (I tried it and it worked flawlessly, but I then wanted to try changing the values; it didn't work, lol). Can I only use one filename in the 'YOURFILEHERE' instances or can I use two? Also, can I change anything in the 'values' area to delay the autostart so it'll start after 4 minutes and 40 seconds?

Thanks!

Here's a code I've made, it starts playing the wave file after 1 second (1000ms):

<script>
setTimeout("doit()",1000);

function doit()
{
   document.write('<embed src="Wave File Name Here" height=55 width=146 autostart=true hidden=true>');
}
</script>

Simply change the amount of milliseconds to your desired length, and the filename to your target.

Hope this helps

Wow thanks again for the super fast reply!! This one really helped!

No problem. The script simply writes a line to the website after a set amount of milliseconds, causing the browser to trigger the music.

By the way, 4mins 40secs in msecs is 280000.

I tried the above script and it worked. However, when the music started after the specified time (10 secs) it played the music but on a new page. Is there a way to keep the existing page and have the music play? Thanks.

This is a hideously ugly method. The page will be destroyed as you tried to write to it after it has been finalized. Better to do:

<body>
<!-- ... -->
<embed src="file.wav" height="0" width="0" autostart="false" hidden="true" id="sound"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
setTimeout('document.getElementById("sound").play();', 1000);
</script>
<!-- ... -->
</body>

Personally, I try to avoid sound in web pages, so this isn't my area of expertise. If you want the sound to loop, add loop="true" to the embed tag.

Twey, thanks. It works great for my purposes. I agree with you on the music but this is not my call. Once thanks.
