sound files

[Valheriee]

I would like our companies audio file to play when someone enters our site.
I have been able to do that from my "Home" page in "page properties".
However, it is for "page load" so everytime someone goes to another page in
our site and then back to the "Home" page, the song plays again. Very
annoying.

Another method I had tried... I created a new layer and inserted the "play
sound" behavior with "onclick". I wanted to know if there is a way to program
it so that if a person wants to turn the song off before it is finished
playing, they can simply click and it will turn off? They layer I created is
over a graphic that is actually in the background image for the site.

An option for you may be to embed a media player on the page- you can set it
to be invisible if you want, and you can use buttons calling javascript
which will allow you to do just about any of the features of the media
player's control panel

Wow, that sounds great.
Can you tell me how in a little more detail. How do you embed a media
player. Once done, do I use the "Behaviors" task pane to make invisible?
How would I use java? I have little experience writing code and limited
knowledge using the "Behaviors" in Frontpage 2003.
Thanks so much!

Easiest thing for you to start with would be the free WMP add in for Front
Page

Once you are comfortable with it and build some knowledge of coding
techniques for html and javascript, then you start playing with the WMP SDK

This gets into some pretty advanced stuff outside of the FP arena- you can
learn alot from MVP-Neil over in the various Windows Media newsgroups
