Sound Control

[kjkogi]

Hi there, I am building a music store using simple html for now. I need a control that allows you to listen to the sample (prefferably my own image) once you click and click the same button to stop the music. I also need it to stop the previous sample on a list if a visitor clicks on the next sample. I have seen this on http://www.thebeattrader.com/ but can't really figure out how to put it together. Please help.

Thanks

I don't know if you can work in flash but, what you desire can easily be acheived through flash.

You could make your own play/stop button images.

But the biggest plus would be that you would have ultimate sound control if you have all of your sound buttons in the same flash movie on the page. Because you can assign sounds to certain buttons, and script any playing tunes to stop if user presses any other play buttons.

So essentially each sound(track) instance would have a name that you could script "mysound1.stop();" and "mysound2.play();" depending on what folks click.

And they can load internally in flash or externally from a directory on your server.

That's how I would pull it off. Good luck :)

Thank you for the reply. However, it is more like a music store and there will be samples for each album which we will be adding often. That's why i would need it as it is on the other website i mentioned. if i use flash i will be limited sizewise and am not sure if i can add a buy now button from paypal in flash. Thanks for your suggestion though......Anyone out there with help?

Just so people don't get the wrong idea:
if i use flash i will be limited sizewiseNot truenot sure if i can add a buy now button from paypal in flashI know that works cuz I've done it using Paypal.

If your'e comfy using flash then the store can be easier to set up and you have more control. If you're not then it won't be easy for you to use flash for this. So go another route. But just so everyone knows this is do-able in flash.
