controlling sound

@bmassSep 11.2006

Hey, I am looking for a script that will allow me to control an audio file. Essentially allowing me to define a link to pause the audio file when I click a button or image, and then play it upon clicking that image/button again.

I am also looking for a way to auto loop the sound.
The sound is located at ~~[url]~~http://www.thedarkbrotherhood.com/index/web5.mp3[/url]
Thanks.

@bmassauthorSep 11.2006 — #Actually, I am not using the embed tag (I can't). I am using a frame and importing the sound file directly.

@Rossario123Sep 11.2006 — #can i ask why you cannot use a embed tag?

@bmassauthorSep 12.2006 — #Well, I need to have it set up in a frameset so that the music continues when I open a new page (without restarting), but if I embed it with IE and make the rows any smaller than 2%, it won't load the frame at all; i.e., it will not play the sound. If you could help fix that instead, it would be greatly appreciated. The sound works fine however in all other browsers using the embed tag in a frameset.

@bmassauthorSep 14.2006 — #Any ideas?

@bmassauthorSep 17.2006 — #Forget about that, I was able to get it working. However, the script that you gave me doesn't work.

@bmassauthorSep 24.2006 — #I gave it a try on a page, but it doesn't work at all. Here is the page I tried it with: http://www.thedarkbrotherhood.com/index/music.html
