Mp3s on a Single Page

[Michael]

Hi. Let's see if I can explain this. I want a page to have 4 buttons that will each play a different mp3 file (not music, a brief narrative). There is NO way to do this! on a single page according to searches on this forum.

So, I thought I had a workaround. I've created 4 additional pages (copied) and set them up to play a single file at page open and then return to the "main" page where the four buttons are after the mp3 finishes. No other options on these 4 pages, (I've removed all actions) except play mp3 and return. In other words, click button 1, on the main page, takes you to page 1, plays mp3 and returns to the main page....choose another button and go to that page...etc.


Should work right? Well, it's not working. Can someone help with this? If I use wav files, they are way too big (12megs wav vs. 1meg mp3).

[One more bit of additional information: When the main page opens in the menu, and one clicks a button, it DOES NOT go to the intended page, it stays and plays the mp3 chosen. I can't imagine why it's not going to the intended page?!?!]

Any response welcomed. Thanks.
M.

Re: Mp3s on a Single Page

Addendum:

The first button plays fine (but does not go to the page1 as it should, instead it stays on the main page). Buttons 2-4 get the red X box:

MP2 AUDIO COMMAND FAILED

AUDIO COMMAND 7 FAILED.
[No such file.]

If these are on separate pages (with one mp3 file for each page), it should play!

Help.

Re: Mp3s on a Single Page

Mark or Adam,
can you reproduce this? I'm stuck on a large project with a deadline coming up.

The project has multiple mp3s on other pages and they play fine.

Thanks for a quick response,
M.
