playing consecutive sounds
- Thread starter SlykFX

What exactly do you want? Do you want to have background music for your page that continually loops through those three sounds? Or do you want to play the sounds on a link click? Do you want to play each sound once only or have it continually play them 3 at a time?
It is possible to do this, and I can show you how after getting some more info, but why don't you just combine the sound files in to one file?
You can download cooledit from here if you don't have a sound file editing program:

when the page loads, each sound file is played through once
eg.
Page loads
sound1.wav is played
sound2.wav is played
sound3.wav is played
i need to keep them as seperate files because this is just one part of an ever changing script
I can't be bothered to have a sig!

sound1.wav is played

Ok. Here is one way to do it with javascript, but beware that wav files take a long time to load on a dialup connection:
<html>
<script>
<!--
function play(i){
var sounds = new Array("sound1.wav","sound2.wav","sound3.wav"
;//names of the files
var times = new Array("5","10","23"//length of the file in seconds
document.getElementById("bg_sound".src=sounds;
if(i<sounds.length){
i++;
setTimeout('play('+i+')',times[i-1]*1000 + 1000);//the length (in miliseconds) of the last song + 1
//second padding before playing the next sound
}
}
//-->
</script>
<body onLoad="play(0)">
<bgsound id="bg_sound">
</body>
</html>
I can see some problems coming up with the load time taking longer than the length of the song, but I don't know how to fix that.
