PI: "Record Your Own Sound" Command Does Not Function (241475)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Picture It! 2000

This article was previously published under Q241475

SYMPTOMS

When you create an E-Mail Postcard project in Picture It!, you can insert a sound by recording it at that moment by using the Record your own sound command. However, if you then use the Preview it in my browser command, this sound may not be played.

If you view the source Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) code, no embedded sound information is included in the code.

WORKAROUND

To add a sound that you record yourself to an E-Mail Postcard project:

Use a program other than Picture It! to record the sound.
Save the sound as a wave audio (.wav) file.
Start the E-mail Postcard project.
When you reach the step where you can insert a sound, click Look Somewhere Else, and then locate the sound file that you saved in step 2.
Follow the E-Mail Postcard Wizard instructions to complete the project.

MORE INFORMATION

If your HTML code contains information about an embedded sound, the code should be similar to the following example.

NOTE: In this example the sound file is named 4seasons.wav.

if (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
document.writeln ('<BGSOUND SRC="4seasons.wav" LOOP=1>');
else
document.writeln ('<EMBED SRC="4seasons.wav" AUTOSTART=TRUE HIDDEN=TRUE
LOOP="FALSE" STOP=FALSE VOLUME=100 PLAY=TRUE><P>');
