Hello,
I was wondering if someone could show me how to setup a Jscript which will delay a sound embeded in my web page. What I want to do is to have the page start and like 1 minute later a sound to play. I would appreciate any and all help from the forum.

Thanks

<body onload=&quot;wait1minute()&quot;>

<script>
function wait1minute()
{
//wait 1 minute = 60000
window.setTimeout(&quot;Play Sound&quot;, 60000);
}
</script>

Re: EMBED, OBJECT or BGSOUND

Can the browser know when file has finished playing? I was looking for a way to make the browser play a number of music files one after the other without user input.

Hey guys Im a total dufus this past week, I think I am losing my head, and I can not do anything right it seems. So can someone please hold my hand on this one and show me how to setup this script. So far &quot;anyideas&quot; helped me out by scrapping me up this script:
==========================================================
Code: 
<html>
<head>
<script>
function wait1minute()
{
    //wait 1 minute = 60000
    window.setTimeout(&quot;Play Sound&quot;, 60000);
}
</script> 
</head>
<body onload=&quot;wait1minute()&quot;>
<embed src=&quot;mySong.wav&quot; ?????????>
</body>
</html>
==========================================================
Now to you this is simple to me it is like duhhhhhhh. So please just show me how I would make the above script delay the embed src for the alloted time as is above as well.

Sorry to be so slow, ;)

The problem might be the browswer you are using is not IE. window.setTimeout was not a standard last i checked and was only a microsoft thing.

i am not sure that this script would work as written anyway, but thought the info about the browsers might be helpful.

Okay.

First of all, &quot;Play Sound&quot; was supposed to be a JavaScript command (as far as I can tell). Whatever command you would use to play a sound, insert it there.

Second, setTimeout isn't Microsoft-only.

Third, if you want to play a series of pieces of music, my first thought would be to simply put all of the pieces in a single sequential file, and then loop it.

Fourth, this conversation might help: thread216-34300

Cheers,
