This might be a dumb question, but I have an audio file that I want to put on a site. If I just drop it in, it should play right?
Also, I want people to be able to download it. If I just create a link to the file on the server, will it work or is there an easier way to download the file?
Hmm, yeah I might have to zip it. It’s an interview so it might be hour long and a zip might be the way to go, but linking it just just be in the hyperlink section, right?
Ok, so next step then. I am just playing it until i get the actual audio file, I think it might be a setting on my laptop, but when I download the zip it automatically opens with iTunes, how can i prevent that
Yeah, it doesn’t even save the .zip file, but i figured it was a user thing. Oh well, at least I know how to do it now once I get the actual files needed
It looks as though the element containing the player (and I’m not sure if you made this or the Action did) is set to a hard width of 454px. This is resisting all other resizing efforts. The trick would be to make the player itself set to 100% width, and then use the breakpoints to set different widths to the container element so that 100% would mean something different at each breakpoint. You’ll have to contact the author of the Action, and see if there’s a way to influence the dimensions of the player itself.

The same way you would do any other element – switch to one of the breakpoints, select the element in the layout, set a width for the element using the Inspector. Lather, rinse, repeat for the other breakpoints. Freeway 6 and 7 are nearly identical, with the exception that 7 has the breakpoints interface, and lets you write out separate style rules for each browser width.

Yeah, I did not set any sort of width or anything.
How do I change it at breakpoints? I made this with FW 6 PRO.
I will reach out the author also to see what the suggest
But if this element is being generated entirely by the Action, then it won’t be possible to set different dimensions at different breakpoints – Actions run once per page, not once per breakpoint per page.

AudioJS is the gold standard for making cross-browser and cross-device playback possible. Just make sure you have an MP3 and a WAV format file selected, because you will need the former for all mobile devices, and the latter for Firefox Mac.

It is all action run. Walter, any other suggestions for an audio plugin then so the file would be able to play across devices?
As far as the layout looking right on your mobile device, have you tried setting it up to appear correctly on mobile first, and then leave it alone for larger screens? Don’t try to change its dimensions at various breakpoints, in other words, just set it up to look correct on the smallest breakpoint and let it fly on the larger ones.

I tried that and when i did the IOS simulator it looked fine, but when i looked at it on my phone, samsung s4, i had to move the screen all the way to the right.
any suggestions on how to get it to look right on mobile? I would prefer it to be centered on everything as well instead of aligning it left
You’re probably going to have to talk to the developer of that Action, look in the Forge, as I can’t recall off-hand who that is. With the appropriate tweaks to the Action, it may be possible to insert the Action inline within ah HTML box, and then have that HTML box drive the responsive layout. The player would have to be adjusted so that it always takes up the maximum available space, and then it should just work within the Freeway 7 definition of “responsive”.
