Hi

 

Is anyone able to see why this embedded object will show up in IE but not in Firefox. I've checked my link to the music file and that's not the problem, but that in IE the play/pause symbol shows up and in firefox it doesn't show at all.

 

<h4>Click on the following to hear samples from the CD:</h4>

<ul><li>Des oges mais

<object

height="27px"

width="70px"

classid="clsid:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95">

<param name="AutoStart" value="0" > <!-- not wanting it to play on page loading -->

<param name="FileName" value="../_music/des_oges.mp3">

<param name="loop" value="0" >

</object>

</li>

 

Perhaps there is a better way of being able to do this? I'm creating a list of cd's and on just a couple of tracks I want a 30sec example/intro that people can choose to click to hear, or a link that will allow them to download.

 

Thanks

Try this code:

<embed src="yourmusic.mid" 
width="140" height="40" autostart="false" loop="FALSE"> 
</embed>

Thanks, I tried that. In PSPad that I use on the preview that works lovely, but when I upload the file to the server firefox still doesn't show anything at all. In Internet explorer previewing the document from my computer gives me a Q for the player with no pop-ups to suggest I need to download or allow anything and once it's uploaded to the server shows a broken film strip. I've attached screen shots of both. There must be something I'm not doing right, but it's got me stumped!

 

Thanks

 

The code was:

 

<h4>Click on the following to hear samples from the CD:</h4>

<ul><li>Des oges mais

<embed src="../_music/cds/medieval_feast/des_oges.mp3"

width="140" height="40" autostart="false" loop="FALSE">

</embed>

 

</li>

Don't you need to close the </ul>

Don't you need to close the </ul>

 

Very true Unfortunately it hasn't made any difference, I still can't see the play options.

Try this code:

<embed src="yourmusic.mid" 
width="140" height="40" autostart="false" loop="FALSE"> 
</embed>

 

That code does work with .wav files but perhaps not with .mp3 files.

 

Try adding controller="true" in the embed tag, but I think you need to look at the following links:-

It seems that .mp3 needs a Flash Player.

Thank you, those links are really interesting and helpful. I have got it working, yay! Just need to fiddle a bit more with it now
