Ok, I would like to place streaming video on my webpage. Whenever the vewer goes into my photo gallery @ I would like them to hear a song. I know that by using the behaviors I can place a song in there, but then the viewer has to save it to a disk or open themselves. Can someone please help. Thanks.

Hello bumpinsa!
I never use sounds on my pages, but if you really need it I would recommend you to use Flash. It could be just small flash movie with size 2x2, so it won't be visible, but you may insert any sounds or music into this flash file. The benefit of it is that this sound will be played by flash player that is available for most browsers on most platforms unlike for example .wav files.
Good Luck!

Hi again,
If you desire to place video/audio in your web page there are several things to consider. Is your file quicktime, avi or asf? do you want it to download or stream. Will it be delivered from a web server or a media server. I'm not familiar with using Dreamweaver to do this. I have some experience with just handcoding the information in to the html document, but all these things I had to figure out before it worked. I encoded my video to a .asf file (advanced streaming format) and placed it on a web server. But the server had to be configured to stream that file. Acutally it did a progressive download. More information is needed for me to help you.

I am very new user to dreamweaver. I would like to upload a song onto my server and when someone presses the music button or .wav file it plays. If I also would like on my main page to have a streaming song play on the upload of my site. I have just recently found out it would be better to do this with flash due to the size. Thanks guys for all you help and suggestions.
The play sound behaviour is a waste of time.
Depending on the platform, and the software your itnended listener has, different things will happen. the soudn might play fine, or realplayer might open, or winamp might open...
Use flash or don't use sounds as all.
