Hi, I have several mp3 files and I attached them to the buttons. It is strange that in a movie, some files open up a music match player to play. Some files has no problem and they play in a movie. Although all of them are mp3 files, why do some files play in a movie and some files needs to be opened in a player. How can I fix this problem? What I want is only to add a beep sound to a botton and works within a movie. Thanks ---

Are you linking the buttons to the mp3 files with the action [AS]on (release) {getURL(“music.mp3”); } [/AS] ? Or are u importing the file and aplying it to a frame? ---

I have just realized that I have a lack of expalanation in my question. This was my first page (opening page) and it is prepared in HTML format but has also Flash Movie. I am wrong, sory Claudio, because the bottons that I did in flash was working okay. But the buttons created in HTML has that problem in machintosh computer… I have not that much experience with Dreanmweaver, I created a rollover image and used it as a button to link to start main movie. I also added a play sound behavior to that. And the problem that I mentioned before happaned. I think it is not related with Flash. I hope my problem is clearer now… ---

yep… I tried several mp3 files. First I had a problem at my computer (PC)and I selected another file and it worked well. I feel okay but when I tried it in my friends machintosh. It happened there again. When you came to top of a button, the player runs automatically and that beep song plays… ---

Thank you very much Claudio to help and think about it. I have started to build my online design portfolio and I am trying to do something as compatible with both PC and Mac as possible… Flash movie works fine in Mac too so I can keep “without sound” for the cover HTML page and I can add sound to other pure Flash parts, so it is ok in general. Thanks again… ---

I think dat when u apply a sound to an image with html (by linkin it with \ tag), u have no control if the file is goin to be played or an audio program will be opened. It all depends on the visitor’s browser configuration. ---

I understood Claudio…so there is no way to control that. Therfore it is beter for me not to use sound for the first page. Flash pages works well in anycase… Thanks for the answer… ---

U could make it all in flash or remove the sound of the html page… 🙂 ---
