Stringing multiple sounds together.

**spamfritter** · 12-20-2002 09:46 AM

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

You could try using Flash to regulate their start and stop times

OK 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.

Research has turned up 2 codes but I can get neither to work

one is

Code:

<html>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
<!-all times must be in millisecs>
timer=""
index = 0
loadtime = 2500 // time allowed for downloading
loadnum = 0
stopped = 1

song=new Array() // File name, Song Title, Playing Time
song[song.length]=new Array("http://www.necrosdomain.co.uk/downloads/tvthemes/gadget.wav","Inspector Gadget",73000)
song[song.length]=new Array("http://www.necrosdomain.co.uk/downloads/tvthemes/dangermo.wav","Dangermouse",33000)
song[song.length]=new Array("http://www.tvthemetunes.net/_tv/b/buttonm.wav","Button Moon",32000)
song[song.length]=new Array("http://www.tvthemetunes.net/_tv/b/bodgbadg.mp3","Bodger & Badger",17000)
song[song.length]=new Array("http://www.trenchman.com/sounds/hammer.wav","Hammerman",72000)
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 = song[0][0]
}
else{
document.all.track.src = song[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
document.all.track.src =""
windows.status="Player Stopped"
}
setTimeout("init()",2000)
//-->
</SCRIPT>

<BGSOUND SCR="" ID="track" VOLUME="80">

</html>

the other is

Code:

<HTML>


<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
timer=""
a = 0
time = new array()
time[time.length] = 73000
time[time.length] = 33000
time[time.length] = 32000
time[time.length] = 17000
time[time.length] = 72000
time[time.length] = 67000

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

function change (){
clearTiemout(timer);
if(a==document.embeds.length){
a=0;
documents.all.track.src = document.embeds[0].src
}

document.all.track.src = document.embeds[a].src
windows.status="Track "+(a+1)+" of "+document.embeds.length+"  <<<"+document.embeds
[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 =""
window.status="Player Stopped"
}
setTimeout("init()",2000)
//-->
</SCRIPT> 
</HEAD><BODY>

<EMBED src=http://www.necrosdomain.co.uk/downloads/tvthemes/gadget.wav hidden=true loop="false" autostart="false" width="1" height="1" mastersound>
<EMBED src=http://www.necrosdomain.co.uk/downloads/tvthemes/dangermo.wav true loop="false" autostart="false" width="1" height="1" mastersound>
<EMBED src=http://www.tvthemetunes.net/_tv/b/buttonm.wav hidden=true loop="false" autostart="false" width="1" height="1" mastersound>

<EMBED src=http://www.trenchman.com/sounds/hammer.wav hidden=true loop="false" autostart="false" width="1" height="1" mastersound>
<EMBED src=http://www.tvthemetunes.net/_tv/b/bstar.wav hidden=true loop="false" autostart="false" width="1" height="1" mastersound>

<BGSOUND SRC="" ID="track" VOLUME="0"&gt;&lt;!-- || -3000 to 0 || -->
</BODY></HTML>

troubleshooting on either would be fantastic if anyone can.

Thanks

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

Stringing multiple sounds together.

That's a bit of overkill isn't it?

I've sourced 2 codes but neither work

easiest way
