k so i want to have a song playing on a webpage.. how do you make a hotlink or something so that it plays when people visit the page?

[88runner]

you don't want to do this

it annoy the heck out of most people

you may put a flash animation that play the song when you hit play

i thought thats what hotlinking was... neway.. how do you do such things

[88runner]

I'm pretty sure there's some free flash apps out there that will do it.
If not you can do a flash animation with a play/stop button

[88runner]

Code: [Select]

// Action script

BTNstop.visible=false;
var song = new Sound();
song.loadSound("sound/song.mp3");

BTNplay.onRelease = function(){
   this.visible=false;
   song.start();
   BTNstop.visible=true;
}

BTNstop.onRelease = function(){
   this.visible=false;
   song.stop();
   BTNplay.visible=true;
}

you'll need a button called BTNplay and one called BTNstop
your sound should ben in the sound directory

/
|--myPlayer.swf
|--sound
   |--song.mp3
