Playing background music across all pages in an application

I want to have background music playing as people use my application but I want to give them the option to turn it off. My solution is to have a button on my homepage that the user clicks to start background music. The code that launchs the music and a small player is placed on page 29 in an HTML region: e.g.
<embed src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#wakingdreams.mp3" autostart="true" loop="true"
width=200 height=60 controls="smallconsole" > </embed>
This allows the user to stop or pause the music using a little player. My solution is to have the control in a small window in the corner but... If I use this code on the button that launches the player
javascript:popupURL('f?p=&APP_ID.:29:&SESSION.');
I don't know how to resize the player window so that most of my home page is visible and easy to navigate to.
If I use the following code on the launch button then my home page window is blank with the word "[OBJECT]" stuck in the left top corner but the player and it's window is the correct size.
javascript:window.open('f?p=&APP_ID.:29:&SESSION.'
,'DFK','height=35,width=70,toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbar=no,resizable=no,location=no,directories=no,minimize=no,maximize=no');
any suggestions one way or the other?...or is there a simpler solution?
any help appreciated
regards
Paul P

Paul,
Using
javascript:popUp2('f?p=&APP_ID.:29:&SESSION::NO:::', 200, 200);
will size the pop-up window to whatever you want. Can you not use frames instead?

  • Playing background music on all menues.

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a main menu and three submenues. I would like to play the same music troughout main menu and on all submenues. The only think I was able to achieve is that music starts from the begining every time I am going to the new menu. Is there is any possibility to make so music doesn't stop when you move from menu to menu?
    Any help is appreciated,
    Serge

  • Continous music loop across all pages

    Good Morning,
    I am developing a website for a local retailer who advertises heavily on television and already has a theme song.
    I want to load the theme song once and have it play continously across all pages, I do not want the theme song to restart with every page load.
    Is there a trick at the host root to load it above the content or tie it to the domain somehow?  Where do I implement the music loop/player?
    Thanks in advance,
    JM

    Hi
    I do not know anyone who has done this for a music/audio file, but if you use flash as your encoder/player then the code for the basic functions in actionscript would probably be a variation of the following -
    var turnOnTime=getTimer();
    ///function(play).... then what ever code you need to play the music....
    var turnOffTime=getTimer();
    ///function(stopSetCookie)... set the cookie value
    var elapsedTime=turnOffTime=turnOnTime;
    It would require that javascript was used for preventing the default click action, (jQuery is probably the easiest for this) then passing control to the actionscript to perform the above as required. Once the actionscript is completed as required, control would be sent back to the javascript and the new page would be loaded, where the process would be reversed.
    You may be better asking in the flash forum for more info, but as I have done this for large video files, (in flv format) it should also be possible for music/audio files.

  • How do I play background music for a movie

    It is easy to set the iPOD to play background music for a photo slide show.
    Is it possible to have the ipod play a song as background for a movie? The "movie" is really an mpeg4 file created by using a screen grabber and is silent.
    If it is not possible to do this within iTunes/iPOD is there any easy to use and inexpensive software that I could use to add sound to the movie and then import it into iTunes?
    Thanks,
    David
    Apple Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Why not keep it simple and just put up the short file and
    play it right through - even it if duplicates something in a longer
    version?

  • My iMac plays background music even when I am watching a movie on Netflix, how do I turn this music off?

    My iMac plays background music when I am using Safari.  Right now, as I am typing this message, it is playing background music.  When I am watching a movie on Netflix, it plays background music which interferes with the movie.  How do I turn this off?

    So pause iTunes or whatever application you are using for background music, before starting the movie.

  • Is it possible to put a watermark across all pages of a Numbers document (i.e.:  DRAFT).  Thanks.

    Is it possible to put a watermark across all pages of a Numbers document (i.e.:  DRAFT)?  Thanks.

    You can include a water mark when priting by selecting the "Watermark" section from the print dialog.:
    If this watermark feature is part of the printer driver and you don;t have this feature you can add a text box, then rotate the box 45 deg, make the font the color and texture you want, then copy and paste it to each page of you document:
    You can place this text below ar above other content as you see fit by using the menu item "Arrange > Bring To Front" or "Arrange > Send To Back"

  • Creating an index of all pages in the application?

    Is there anyway I can create a page in my app that displays a dynamic index (list) of all pages in the application? Sort of like a table of contents that automatically updates if I create a new page?
    Thanks!
    BoilerUP

    BoilerUp,
    The page comment is the last region on the page definition page. Just select a page, click the icon to edit and then click the Comments 'button' on the far right and it will focus you on that region.
    As to why it is not working, what version of APEX are you using? There have been some changes to the views from their debut in 2.2 to 3.0. You should perfect your query using SQL Commands in the SQL Workshop and then can paste it into a report region. If you are using 3.0, you can also use the APEX Views utility under the Utilities tab.

  • IPod mini only plays background music! Can't hear the lyrics!?!

    I don't even know how this happens... but my ancient iPod mini, the battery of which i had replaced a few years ago, has never failed me until now.
    Every time I play a song, the lyrics are inaudible and all I hear is the background music, backup vocals, etc. This would be great if I were playing karaoke. But I want to hear the full song! Does anyone know how I can fix this? I thought maybe the EQ or soundcheck was messing with the mp3 so I turned both off but the problem persists.
    Any ideas?

    First of all, me being a instrumentalist would say: Who cares? Vocals suck! All they do is add meaning to a song that the instruments can't portray by themselves.
    Anyways, it's a probaly with the headphone jack of your iPod. I bought a dock once and the headphone jack in the back got unsaugheted a bit and it started doing it. I suggest taking it to the store and asking them to saughter the headphone jack on properly or taking your ipod apart (I assume you have before since you replaced the battery) and giving it a good look, push it down a little bit and see if that helps.

  • Preventing looped background music on home page from re loading from another page

    Hi guys,
    My problem is that I have background music playing on my home
    page that loops (intentionally), but when I click back on to the
    home page from any of the other pages on my website, the background
    loop starts again from the beggining and ends up playing on top
    (compunding) on the original music from the initial home page. How
    do I prevent this from happening? I am using Dreamweaver 8.

    Please don't repost. Answered in your previous post.

  • My background color for all pages has changed to pink, how do I get it back to white?

    The background color in all of my screens has switched to pink. How do I get it back to white? I wonder if it changed when I was shopping in a web site and had clicked on a pink watch(?)

    Check the default color settings:
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors
    * [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"

  • How do I globally change the font across all pages in a multi-page PDF document

    I have a 500 page document. I suceeded in changing only the font on the first page using Acrobat Pro and selecting "Edit Text and Images", selecting "All" on the first page and changing the font.  It worked perfectly.  Now I want to apply that font change to the remaining 499 pages. Any ideas?

    Sorry Bill, not how it works. You can select text across a page boundary using the normal multi-select tool for copying, but you cannot edit across a page boundary. If you try to activate the ETI tool from the Content Editing panel or use the context menu "Edit Text" item, Acrobat will trim the selection to the current page only.
    The previous two responses are correct - you must either repeat the edit by hand on every page, or go back to the original document and make the changes there (which is the expected workflow for such a drastic alteration).

  • I downloaded the new operating system and now the Bluetooth in the car does not play my music.  All the songs show the cloud with a red arrow pointing down. How do I download all of them again to my I phone please?

    I downloaded the new operating system and now the Bluetooth in the car does not play my music.  The music on the phone show the cloud and the red arrow pointing downwards.  How do I download all the music again to my phone please?

    I have an ITunes account.  I got it when I got my IPOD.  I've thought about upgrading, but I didn't see any reason to buy a newer IPOD because they all come with so much stuff I don't want/need.  I don't have my current IPOD filled yet and I really don't need an IPOD Touch that has capabilities that my Droid already has.  I don't need to be concerned with documents, mail, attaching to Facebook or playing games.  I can do all that on my phone.  I just want to maintain my music between 3 devices.
    So now that I see it is not to my benefit to have this product---can you point me in the direction to cancel this?  And how do I get my music back?  Will it show up once I cancel my account?

  • Adding Background music to welcome page on Iweb.. any ideas? instructions?

    looking to add background music to my welcome page on iweb. any easy instructions? thanks daniel malibu

    Take a look at my page "source" code for some clues.
    Editing published pages is as easy as opening the "raw" html code in TextEdit (preferences set to "plain" text) and applying your edits (copy/paste simple).
    But once you edit these pages any changes made by the iWeb application and a new "publish" would remove your hand edited code.
    To change what appears in your "Title" would only require you edit that line of code. To add metatags is the same.
    The "snippet" part of iWeb 2 is always in the "body" part of the page code. Title and custom icons are part of the "head" tag code. Javascript code could be in even more parts depending on its function.
    None of this is for the faint of heart or for those that don't understand the basics of html page code.
    Open your published iWeb 2 page with a text editor and edit the "title" tag code to change the displayed "name". To add a custom icon requires you upload a 16X16 image file (the size of the icon in the browser address bar), upload that file to your server and then use that URL in the edited html code for your page. These are part of the "head" tag code.
    Hope this helps.

  • Music app not playing my music at all!

    After updating to ios5 my music app is not working. I have two iPads, one 64gb wifi and one 32gb 3G. One has 40 gb of music and the other has 20gb music. When I attempt to play the music it keeps jumping randomly to different songs. None of the songs actually play. I have removed the music from the iPads and reloaded them several times and I have factory rest the iPads and reloaded ios5. None of this fixed the issue. Additionally there is a portion of my storage space on each iPad called other and it is way too big, taking up about 25% of my storage space. Further, the sync to reload the music is taking about 24 hours. I have tries to sync wireless as well as wired. I sync to a MacBook pro 2009 with lion 10.7.2 and latest iTunes.

    I seem to be having the exact same problem after upgrading to IOS5 on my iPad 2 64GB 3G.  I'm syncing against a Win 7 64-bit system with all the latest patches, and the latest iTunes.  I also noticed the strange use in 'Other' after finally getting the upgrade to work.
    I haven't tried to factory reset and reinstall yet, since it took me about 4 hours to get the upgrade to complete last night.  I had about a dozen failures during the upgrade process, then 2-3 failures while it was trying to restore all the apps/music/etc.
