MULTIPLE PLUGINS???

I wanted to creat background music, I found that you have to go into Insert >
Media > Plugin, to do that. So I did that and it works fine, I now have
background music, but I want multiple songs.
If you go to www.hoobastank.com, you will see an example of what I am talking
about. At the top of their site, you can change the song. And they have about
3 or 4 songs to choose from.

If anyone can help me with this, please post back or e-mail me at
bored757@yahoo.com
Thanks

I would also like to know how to make the background music the same for all my
pages.
I dont want to add a new plugin for each page, because then the songs would
start over when I went to a new page.

Is there a way to make the plugins apply to every page? So the song will not
start over when i go to a new page.

Thanks

Okay when you use a plug-in you can play media on the page, Thats not what they
did, They used a flash player. So unless you know flash then you wont get that
effect, http://www.maroon5.com site I like better. They have a great flash
site. (site of the day) any way If you need a player like that then go to the
Flash forums and see if they have something there. Note: carefull with music,
Make sure you have a way to turn it off!

Well the only way you can do that is if you do frames. Have your player been
in the top or side banner so when they open a new page it will still play. Read
my last post about the player!
Good Luck

I dont understand what you mean about the frames. Could you post back and
explain is simplier, im new to this.
I have the full version of Flash, but I dont know how to create a media player
with it. Do you?
If you do, could you e-mail me at bored757@yahoo.com or post back here.

I told you abou the music player it would have to be flash, you can have 2 or
more media things going on at once. Then they will all play together at once
and sound bad, you could put autoplay = false But then no one is going to
change there own music.

Okay when you do frames it's like putting to web sites together you need to
make a Top and Main page then use frames to put them together dreamweaver will
do it for you! all you have to do is upload the two HTML files you have
created. [L=Limp Bizkit]http://limpbizkit.com[/L] uses frames a banner and
main. and a flash player. But once again You would have to put the flash player
in the top or side banner frames (no side banner frame in example) and so when
they click to go to a new page it keeps playing, the limp bizkit is probalby
the best example, it has a flash player / banner frame and the main thats HTML.
I'm not going to make a flash player for any one mainly because I'm still
learning flash. Look in the forums!!! They proably have something, if nothing
else www.google.com ...Also get a dreamweaver book!!! one that will do
tutorials and get lots of examples. (Mhe Missing Manual) is my favorite. They
just came out with the MX 2004 so be for we fill this page up go to a computer
store and get a book, Trust me it's worth is! expecally since your just
starting out.

Ok, thanks for the help.

I saw another post with a link to www.applehackers.tk, and I saw your name
under the contacts. Since your site says you will do Flash design for people.
Would you IM me at DuctTapeMan777, that is my Screen Name for AIM. If your the
same person, could you IM me and i can tell you what i want for a design.
