The problem is that if I assign music to my first html and then go the next page, the music will restart from beginning whichever software I use (flash or dreamweaver).
Also, If I assigned a behaviour to a button to "play sounds"within dreamweaver, an ugly child window progress bar (probably Quick time)
appear in the middle of my carefuly prepared layout page.

Is there a way to make the sound stream without restarting once you get to a new page and without seeing the bar  ???]]> 01/02/04, 002 07 2004 2004:%i:1073052437 09:07:17 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/sound_problem/#p55 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/sound_problem/#p56
Sound that is not requested on web sites is a bad idea anyway and very likely to put people off. Imagine sitting in an open plan office and loud music starts up from your PC, it's very embarrasing.

I think the only way to have sounds on a site would be to have it done entirely made in Flash and let it loop couples of times
which isn't my caseas it's halh in html and half in Flash.

I don't think having sounds on a site is a bad idea.
It really enhance the sense of interactivity, nevermind the collegues! ]]> 01/02/04, 002 56 2004 2004:%i:1073062588 11:56:28 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/sound_problem/#p57 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/sound_problem/#p58
Nice to see the forum back.  

If you don't want to go all flashy there are only two options really. Either use frames where you can play the music in a small/hidden frame or run it in a pop-up window.]]> 01/05/04, 005 20 2004 2004:%i:1073298023 05:20:23 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/sound_problem/#p58 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/sound_problem/#p59
I have an article about how to do this here http://www.wpdfd.com/editorial/wpd0103.htm#feature but  it's a wee bit difficult with a WYSIWYG editor.
