Hi all,
2 years ago, thinking of doing a language-learning blog, I made buttons with sounds attached (of me reading a sentence). I abandoned the idea because it took too much time making the buttons and it was buggy in firefox.
I recently heard that it would possible to have a php script automatically create an XML file that would tell the buttons which sound to play.
Does anyone have an idea how this could work?
Thanks
this can be done without php, and just creating 1 button, if you prefer to go at it this way, let me know, and i'll help you.
P.S. you could also use a comboBox to do this. the user would just select a sound from the drop down and the sound would play.
thanks for your answer.
To illustrate what I was trying to do, here's a link to the test page...
I'm looking for a faster way of attaching sounds to buttons (and one that doesn't bug in Firefox)
it seems as if the text is html and the buttons are flash. is this correct?
Yes, it's just a regular blog post with flash buttons inserted.
Does anyone know of a better way of making buttons for this application?
instead of inserting icons all over the place, of different mini.swf(s). you could create one with the entire blog being read aloud. the thing is every time the blog changes, the sound file would have to change. just a sugesstion.
but then people can't figure out which part of the text is being read...
then i'm afraid i can't help you, sorry. you could combine the blog and the sound, other than that, the way your doing it is it. i'm not one to tell you how to do your blog.
Thanks, I'm going to try and mod a generic player like Dewplayer to suit my needs.
