I did that once for an eCard for my g/f, but I didn't add sound... And I deleted the script, so I actually can't help you, so I don't even know why I am telling you this!

*searches for the script*

Hi

Try this out, change the sound file src to your own otherwise if no sound file is found an error message is generated



<script language="javascript">
<!--
var word="A Simple Repeat Text Scroller"
//var display=""
var nextcol=0
var nextchar=0
var speedout=100
var speedin=1
var pause=1000

col= new Array()
col[col.length]="#00ff00"
col[col.length]="#aaaa00"
col[col.length]="#ff0000"
col[col.length]="#0000ff"

function type(){
document.all.sound.play() // for playing sound as the text becomes visible document.all.display.style.color=col[nextcol]
document.all.display.innerText=document.all.display.innerText+word.charAt(nextchar)
nextchar++
timerT=setTimeout("type()",speedout)

if(nextcol==col.length){
nextcol=0;}

if(nextchar==word.length){
clearTimeout(timerT)
nextchar=0
setTimeout("type2()",pause)}
}

function type2(){
document.all.display.innerText=document.all.display.innerText.substring(0,document.all.display.inner Text.length-1)
timerT2=setTimeout("type2()",speedin)

if(document.all.display.innerText.length==0){
nextcol++
clearTimeout(timerT2)
count=word.length
document.all.display.innerText=""
setTimeout("type()",2000)}
}
setTimeout("type()",2000)
// -->
</script>

<EMBED name="sound" SRC="type.au" loop=false autostart=false hidden=true mastersound>

<span id="display" style="position:absolute; top:10; left:100; width:450;font-size:25;color:black"></span>

if you read the posting guidlines it says do not post titles such as "n00b needing help"

Copy the script into the HEAD section and the rest into the BODY section.

Don't forget to name your sound file in:


<EMBED name="sound" SRC="YOUR SOUND FILE" loop=false autostart=false hidden=true mastersound>
