FP2000: Sound File Doesn't Play When You Attach Sound File to Hover Button (196569)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q196569 For a Microsoft FrontPage 98 version of this article, see 175175.
SYMPTOMS
When you attach a sound file to a Hover button by using the On Click or On
Hover event, the sound does not play.
CAUSE
A sound file attached to a hover button does not play if it is in stored in
a format such as .wav, Musical Instrument Digital Interface (.mid), or
Real Audio (.ram).
In FrontPage 2000, a Hover button is a Java-based applet that can use 8-bit, 8000 Hz, mono, u-law audio (.au) files only. The .au file format is an audio digital file format supported by the Java programming language,
developed by Sun Microsystems. This file format is commonly used on UNIX
and NeXT computers.
WORKAROUND
To use a sound file as an effect on a Hover button, you can convert the sound file
to the .au format by using a sound conversion utility, which is available
from a third-party software vendor.
Microsoft has two sample audio files (Train.au and Click.au) in a
self-extracting archive called Ausample.exe.
