Hi, starting a project next week that will need a music playing on the home page only. I would like to be able to have a stop start button. Maybe design the interface myself if at all doable?
Any best practices, recommendations and how to’s!?
Cheers

Do you mean that you need a music player to select from different audio files or is there going to be just 1 audio file that you want to control ie. start/stop

yes just the one track streaming with the option to stop - needs to work on iOS devices also… if possible
Thanks

In its simplest form you can just drag/drop an mp3 onto your FW page.
Position the resulting box where you want it and resize it wide enough so that you can see all the controller on preview.
To get it to play on load select the container, Item>Extended and under the Embed tab create a new name/value pair of autostart:true want it to repeat then loop:true

Great I’ll give it a try, what if I need to design the play stop button? Any players let me do that? I hear talk of JavaScript players?

Hello,
the drag and drop function is really great. Problem is, that if I than surf he site, everytime a new site is opened (like home/about/ etc) the file starts playing from the beginning again. Is there a function that allows the file to play continually?

Yes always the case - also I dont think ios browsers ‘do’ auto play?

You’d need to construct a frameset – with all the problems attendant
to that – in order to have one set of music playing throughout the
site. Framesets destroy your Web site in terms of findability and user
experience, since there are no URIs possible in a frameset except the
one URI to the frameset itself.
But to do this in Freeway, insert a new Frameset page in your
document, set the frames to * (indeterminate) for the first frame, and
30px or whatever you need for your music controller for the second.
You can remove all the borders and whatnot to smooth everything out.
Set your home page to load into the indeterminate frame, and put your
music player in the sized frame. Change the filename of your home page
to something other than index.html, and change your frameset page to
index.html
But stand ready to receive complaints and lost visits. Frames are no
laughing matter.

and adding the MP3 works for IE too?

You might want to use WAV instead of MP3 if you want to target Windows
IE. Most Mac browsers can play it natively as well, so you’d probably
have the widest possible audience that way.

Sorry to open up an old topic but I have the same dilema. Client has asked me to revamp the site but they still require continuous music playing as in the old site. http://www.entouragewedding.com
Any guess’s to how they have done this? and can it be done in freeway without frames.
Any help much appreciated.

This site is using a frameset, that’s how they’re doing it. They have a zero-sized frame to hold ‘mp3.php’ and a 100% size frame to hold ‘_index.php’.

Thanks for the reply…can I ask did you see that in the “View Source” of the browser.

Yes. It’s a mighty short bit of source, compared with a normal HTML page.
