Stringing multiple sounds together.

liunx · Jan 9, 2008

Does anyone know how to link sounds so they play back to back? 
 
I've been asking at a different forum but noone whos replied knows how yet so I thought I'd give this one a try instead any way! 
 
I want to link some sounds together from friends websites, I have written the old: 
 
<EMBED src=http://www. hidden=true loop="false" autostart="true" width="1" height="1"> 
<EMBED src=http://www. hidden=true loop="false" autostart="false" width="1" height="1"> 
<EMBED src=http://www. hidden=true loop="false" autostart="false" width="1" height="1"> 
<EMBED src=http://www. hidden=true loop="false" autostart="false" width="1" height="1"> 
<EMBED src=http://www. hidden=true loop="false" autostart="false" width="1" height="1"> 
<EMBED src=http://www. hidden=true loop="false" autostart="false" width="1" height="1"> 
 
but I have no way of getting them to play one after another, I can't record them as one and then upload it due to restrictions on my server. 
 
I've had 2 suggestions but to no avail; an i-frame but I couldn't get this to work and a single embed being manipulated by java but I don't know any Java. 
 
I found something about using timenodes but this seemed very complicated and I'm a bit of a newbie t coding. 
 
Any help would be great. 
 
Thanks 
 
SpamfritterYou could try using Flash to regulate their start and stop timesOK but that sounds like major overkill isn't it? 
I only want it to play the sounds one after another, a trigger maybe or something like that, but flash?? I'd have to learn how to use it. Any other suggestions??

There must be a way to do this with just plain old HTML isn't there?? 
 
Thanks for the suggestion all the same. 
 
Merry Christmas. 
 
SpamfritterResearch has turned up 2 codes but I can get neither to work 
 
one is 
 
 
<html> 
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript> 
<!-all times must be in millisecs> 
timer="" 
index = 0 
loadtime = 2500 // time allowed for Download ing 
loadnum = 0 
stopped = 1 
 
song=new Array() // File name, Song Title, Playing Time 
song[song.length]=new Array("http://www.necrosdomain.co.uk/Download s/tvthemes/gadget.wav","Inspector Gadget",73000) 
song[song.length]=new Array("http://www.necrosdomain.co.uk/Download s/tvthemes/dangermo.wav","Dangermouse",33000)

song[song.length]=new Array("http://www.tvthemetunes.net/_tv/b/bstar.wav","Bravestar",67000) 
 
function init(){ 
index = Math.floor(Math.random() * song.length) 
//index=0 // 
change() 
} 
 
function change(){ 
stopped=0 
clearTimeout(timer); 
if(index==song.length){ 
index=0; 
document.all.track.src = <a class="postlink" href="http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/song">http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archi ... x.php/song</a>[0][0] 
} 
else{ 
document.all.track.src = <a class="postlink" href="http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/song">http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archi ... x.php/song</a>[index][0] 
} 
window.status="PlayList ---- > Track "+(index+1)+" of "+song.length+" <<< "+song[index][1].substring(song[index][1].length,0)+" >>>" 
 
if(loadnum<song.length{ // if played for first time add Download  time to play time 
next=song[index][2]+loadtime 
loadnum++ 
index++ 
timer=setTimeout("change()",next)} 
} 
} 
 
function stop(){ 
if(stopped==1){return} 
stopped=1 
clearTimeout(timer); 
index=index-1

function init(){ 
a = Math.floor(Math.random() * document.embeds.length)

} 
 
function change (){

a=0;

[a].src.substring(document.embeds[a].src.length-4,0+" >>>" 
timer=setTimeout("change()",time[a]); 
a++ 
} 
 
) 
function stop(){ 
clearTimeout(timer); 
a=a-1; 
document.all.track.src =http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"" 
window.status="Player Stopped" 
}

troubleshooting on either would be fantastic if anyone can. 
 
Thanks 
 
Spamfritterok, i do know how you can ajust this to make it work, i have, but i dont have a specific example to do it, i do, however, have a website that uses this if u would like to view>source on it, please email me: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> 
thanks 
 
colton22 
 
ps: check out my site> <a class="postlink" href="http://www.freewebs.com/colton22">http://www.freewebs.com/colton22</a> 
but it doesnt have this topic on there :'(http://www.myspacegeeks.com/myspace-generators/flash-mp3-player/i got the code and it works but if the user takes longer to load a song, the timing is a lil off so use a "cusion" with some extra seconds... 
 
this is directly from my website so the form i used was formname=_song and selectname=_list 
 
var extratime=20; //seconds 
function readyNewSong() { 
 
if (currentsongIndex==eval(window.document._play._list.length-1)) {currentsongIndex=1;} 
else {currentsongIndex++;} 
window.document._play._list.selectedIndex=currentsongIndex; 
changeSong(); 
} 
function timeoutsongs() { 
counterforsongs++; 
} 
function _songTimeout(time2wait) {songTimeoutRunning=true; //alert("running"); 
if (counterforsongs==time2wait) {timeoutsongs(); readyNewSong();} 
else {timeoutsongs(); setTimeout("_songTimeout("+time2wait+")",1000);} 
} 
function _setSongTimeout(time2send) { 
counterforsongs=0; 
_songTimeout(eval(time2send+extratime)); 
} 
function clearTimeoutVariables() {timer4songTimeout=0;}did u try not clicking on play when page loads 
 
I dont understand your question
