Palyne, Here is what is under the HTML Reference Documentation in CFStudio... Another way you might do it is import them into their own flash movie and control them from there...
<BGSOUND...> The <BGSOUND> element allows authors to create pages that will play sound clips, or background soundtracks while the page is being viewed Sounds can either be samples (.WAV or .AU format) or MIDI (.MID format). The HTML used to insert a background sound into a page is: <BGSOUND SRC="start.wav"> The BGSOUND element accepts the following attributes. BALANCE=Stereo balancing The BALANCE attribute can be used to change the stereo balance when the sound file is played. It accepts values between '-10000' and '10000'. The effect of the two extreme values depends on the sound settings on the users system, but using either of the extreme values will force the sound to play from one speaker only. CLASS=n The CLASS attribute is used to specify the <DIR> element as using a particular style sheet class. See the Style Sheets topic for details. ID=n The ID attribute can be used to either reference a unique style sheet identifier, or to provide a unique name for the <DIR> element for scripting purposes. Any <DIR> element with an ID attribute can be directly manipulated in script by referencing its ID attribute, rather than working through the All collection to determine the element. See the Scripting introduction topic for more information. LANG=n The LANG attribute can be used to specify what language the <DIR> element is using. It accepts any valid ISO standard language abbreviation (for example "en" for English, "de" for German etc.) For more details, see the Document Localisation section for more details. LOOP=n This attribute specifies how many times a sound will loop when activated. If n=-1 or LOOP=INFINITE is specified, the sound will loop indefinitely. SRC This attribute specifies the address of a sound to be played. TITLE=n The Internet Explorer 4.0 (and above) specific TITLE attribute is used for informational purposes. The <BGSOUND> attribute presents nothing on the screen, so no 'ToolTip' is provided by the TITLE attribute. VOLUME=n The VOLUME attribute accepts values between '-10000' and 0 and can be used to set the volume at which the sound file will play. Note that using '0' (i.e. maximum volume), will play the sound file at 100% of the users current volume settings. There is no way in HTML that you can force a sound file to play at a volume indecent to the user. They will always have total control. Example This page has a background soundtrack playing if you are using Internet Explorer. The code used is: <BGSOUND SRC="../Dynamic_Documents/clouds.mid"> NOTE : Internet Explorer now fully supports use of Netscape plug-ins using the <EMBED...> element. Therefore, using : <EMBED SRC="../Dynamic_Documents/clouds.mid" HIDDEN="True"> will produce the same effect as using the above <BGSOUND...> element (and will also work in Netscape (3.0 and above)). The actual <BGSOUND...> element is still Internet Explorer specific though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Every <BGSOUND> element in a document is an object that can be manipulated through scripting. Note that scripting of the <BGSOUND> element/object is only supported by Internet Explorer 4.0, as only Internet Explorer supports the <BGSOUND> element. <BGSOUND...> Properties The <BGSOUND...> element/object supports all of the standard Dynamic HTML properties (i.e. className, document, id, innerHTML, innerText, isTextEdit, lang, language, offsetHeight, offsetLeft, offsetParent, offsetTop, offsetWidth, outerHTML, outerText, parentElement, parentTextEdit, sourceIndex, style, tagName and title). Details of these can be found in the standard Dynamic HTML properties topics. Also, the <BGSOUND> element supports the balance, loop, src and volume properties, which directly reflect their attribute settings (see above). <BGSOUND...> Methods The <BGSOUND...> element/object supports some of the standard Dynamic HTML methods (i.e. contains, getAttribute, removeAttribute and setAttribute). Details of these can be found in the standard Dynamic HTML Methods topics. <BGSOUND...> Events The <BGSOUND...> element/object doesn't support any events -----Original Message----- From: Palyne Gaenir [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 2:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Can CF play .wav's? I can't find any reference to this in my documentation, under this or cfbgsound or anything like that. Can you give me a little more info?

I need to build an application that will play .wav files. Short clips, in a loop, pulled from a given directory with various specs, and the timing needs to be settable. I only know CF (no java). Is there any way to do this sort of thing with CF? I looked through my books and didn't find any mention of such a thing.
