Background Music Demo

Hello Anne,

I am by no means a JavaScript expert however, I have been working on applying this process to one of my own courses. Based on previous conversations in this thread I was able to get it working on my own course with this code:

//load the scripts dynamically into the head of the document
function add_line() {
 var line = document.createElement("audio");
 var head=document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
 line.type = "audio/mp3";
 line.src="";
 line.id="bgSong" ;
 line.autoplay = true;
 line.loop = true;
 head.appendChild(line);
}
//but we only want to add these once!
if(document.getElementById('bgSong')==null){
 add_line();
var audio = document.getElementById('bgSong');
audio.volume = 1.0;
}

var player = GetPlayer();
this.Location= player.GetVar("location");

var audio = document.getElementById('bgSong');
audio.src=location+"NAME OF SONG HERE.mp3";
audio.load();
audio.play();

Using the code above at the JavaScript executed on the first slide has been working for me. You should be able to copy and paste it into your own trigger on that first slide. Make sure you edit the NAME OF SONG at the bottom. Additionally in your "location" trigger you only need to start at story_content. You do not need to include all of the information before that part. So the text in your location trigger should only be: story_content\WebObjects\6RU7elBBAGE

Hopefully these changes may be able to help you!
