I am trying to find a way to have a small audio clip play when the home page loads. I have treied using HTML tags, but all of them only work in IE. I know you can do this with flash, but I am still learning flash. So...is there any XOOPS solution? a hack or module that might make it work? I am using the debaser module, with the "popular file" block. It seems there should be a simple hack that would make the file play when the page loads, but I can't figure it out.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Re: Adding background music?

I don't see why you would want to do that... it can be very annoying, but here's the code that will work in most platforms:

<object type="audio/x-mpeg" data="sound.mp3" height="20" width="250">
  <
param name="autostart" value="true" />  
  <
img src="nomp3.gif" width="200" height="100" alt="Sorry, you don't have the necessary plugin to hear mp3s" />
object>


If you don't want the controller bar, make the width and height to 0.

If it's something other than an mp3, you need to change the type to match the mime-type. You can find the correct mime-type at http://www.1extreme.net/mimetype.html

Give it a try.
