Hello Everyone,

I am rather new to web page design although I have done some. I have recently seen MP3's being used to provide background sound for some of the sites I have visited. It appears to be referenced from another site. I was wondering what the code is that is used to be able to use an MP3 instead of a wav or midi file? Any help would be appreciated. Also, can anybody give me any links to some good tutorials on how to create a flash web site?

Thanks again so much.

If you are planning on using mp3s, I would recommend importing them into flash, that way at least they are compressed. Keep in mind that that takes up a lot of bandwidth (increased loading time) especially if you have a regular dial up.

www.flashkit.com has soundloops, sound fx, and tutorials you can download for free.

with controls:
<EMBED src="file.mp3" autostart=true width="128" height="45">
without:
<EMBED src="file.mp3" autostart=true hidden>
