using sound

[pti4ka]

is it possible to play sound when user does some action?
can i ,for example, control volume? start playback? stop playback?

I don't think it can be done with HTML but you may look into Macromedia Flash.

Will give you an embedded control that can be manipulated using Javascript.

thanks:)
i'll check in depth
it is some kind of activex object so i guess it won't work in all browsers and in some it will be blocked?

by the way, where can i find info/reference on using embeded objetcs?
(in your example you use these parameters:
<param name="AutoRewind" value="1" />
<param name="AutoStart" value="1" />
<param name="PlayCount" value="1" /> <!-- 0 is continuous when used with AutoStart/AutoRewind -->
<param name="FileName" value)

The way it's setup, if the browser can't use the Object definition (Firefox for example), it will use the Embed definition. As far as the parameters the easiest way is to hop out to the respective web sites and do a search inside the site.
