Play Sound File Without Media Player Showing

kvarnerexpress
Currently I have ICONS (JPGs) on a number of my pages that, when clicked, allow the user to hear a specific audio (WMA)file related to the page.

The problem is that when the icon is clicked, the audio file plays, but it opens (in this case) the Windows Media Player. I am trying to avoid that from happening.

My workaround is to create a separate, new window (small in size), that opens and has the sound file attached to the background of the new window, playing automatically when opened. This works...

I can also make about 30 of these little windows for each of the 30 sound files on all the different pages.

Is there a way I can just play each sound without any change to the current window (no media player showing)?

IF NOT, is there a way I can use a single "new window" that somehow "gets" the specific sound file each time (without creating 30 of these things) and plays it as the background soud of the new window?

Thanks,

I know this is the time where I am supposed to help you with your question, but my problem is getting Windows Media Player to open. I can't get it to do that!!! You're problem is the complete opposite of mine. I don't understand the complete question, but what my multimedia does is play in an embedded player. Is that what you want to do with your site - open multimedia in a new, mini window with an embedded player?

here just google it. lol you can find anything in google. im guesing you could stream it. i found a site on how to do that and it explains it pretty good. here it is [URL]http://134.193.15.25/vu/course/it222/notes/sound/audio-streaming.html[/URL}
about making it invisible just google some more. or you could put it on a frame and have the sizes at 0%, 100% so that you cant see it.

  8. Integrating One Html File Into Another

    the logo at the very top, before any content. I was wondering if there is any way of doing it with
    an HTML tag (i.e. not PHP or any other scripts) so the header just gets inserted right after the
    opening tag. I'm thinking that possibly it uses the tag, but really I don't have much of
    an idea. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Peace out /smile.gif' border=....
