Hey out there;
So, my OLD webmaster couldn't figure out how to make my website theme song play without a popup player(and seemed too bothered to come here and ask for help, even though you kindly offered) so now it falls to me. Awhile back on this forum I think it was suggested to put the sound in a flash file and use a flash player. Since my site automatically loads the flash plugin, this seems doable, but i still have questions.

How the hell I do it?

Okay, I make the flash file, but what action script do i need to use to trigger the loading of the music file on the opening page? - is this something i really need a new webmaster to handle?

And just as important, how do I make it shut up when a visitor is watching one of my movies (related to stopallsound command?), and how do i make it start back up (or pick back up) when the watcher is done with my movie? (the demo site will have 5 active movies to choose from).

And i don't want more buttons; to start and/or restart the main theme song. I want it to stop on its own when a movie is selected and to pick up on its own when the visitor leaves the movie.

I may be asking for a lot of info here, so if there is a tutorial you know about that might help out here, please send it.

Your hummble servant

Haven't we discussed this already?

What about those movies? Opened within the main movie? Or in popups or in other htmls using getURL?
Do they have to close these movies when done, or is it automatic?
 
Thanks Martin for the link, and to answer Old's questions... maybe yes,maybe no? Let me go study the flash
file Martin mentioned, and then I can be more spcific with my questions.
Thanks
Hoss
