Hello All,

I am a new member in designerstalk ... I need your helps ... it might be an easy question but someone out there might know a way of doing this ...

I need the background music to be played continuously from page to page, so when the user click on any other page other than the index page it doesn't interrupt the flow of music.

note: I am using HTML, I know very few codes in PHP and I am not expert in Flash with ActionScript.

So I hope someone will help me with this with the a code example so to be more clear ...

Thanks in Advance ..

my tip is, dont do it. its annoying

also. you dont need to write in bold, we can read it without that!

eviltwinisdead · 21-08-2008, 13:52

Yeah, I agree. Don't do it. Only reason to have music on your site is if it's for a band - but even then I don't think it should start without someone pressing play.

fasterthanlight · 21-08-2008, 14:47

Well, to answer the question,

your best bet would be to use frames, and have the music playing in one hidden frame, (1px by 1px) and then they navigate through the site within another frame....

And yes, thats twice this week i've recommended frames ... Why the world isn't imploding yet, i'm not too sure...

Doing it would be almost as annoying as typing posts entirely in bold!

heres sumthing: try basic flash programming.

it will make it really simple for ya, plus it give u a really good GUI for designing AND an opportunity to animate it as well

Synook · 24-08-2008, 03:25

Shh! We're trying to not make him put the music on!

l2blackbelt · 24-08-2008, 03:27

lol oops. There, now he will nvr know!

l2blackbelt · 24-08-2008, 03:30

but of cource, seeing as u quoted me... know he will know for sure xD

u have brought about your own demise, Synook...

hawken · 24-08-2008, 06:28

I advise you to go for it, everyone loves music on websites

l2blackbelt · 24-08-2008, 12:58

what are you talking about?

Most music ends up being totally obnoxious, unless its short and only plays once, like in an intro video

fasterthanlight · 25-08-2008, 10:24

He's talking about sarcasm

and no matter how much any of you bitch and complain, its red rose's choice, they're asking because they want to know, not because they want 20 people telling him not to do it.

Children. Tsk tsk

Hey, if someone asked you "where is the poison, I want to commit suicide," would you tell them?

Alright, maybe background music is not illegal, but still...

steveb · 26-08-2008, 08:29

Bring back the death sentence for background music programmers.

fasterthanlight · 26-08-2008, 11:15

Hahahaaha

I'm sure the world might implode once you try and navigate away from the page and find the music's still playing

Yeah, agreed, don't do it. I find background music infinitely annoying and it just interferes with my winamp playlist.

frauvogel · 27-05-2009, 20:22

Her question isnt wether she should do it ...she wants to know how to do it...besides it depends on the site, some sites are great with music.

DKuntz2 · 27-05-2009, 21:52

No they don't. The only time I enjoy background music is for a movie, and only if it has a play/pause button.
