Hello !

I must do a homework with my french group to university, and I would like know how we can add music on a page.
I found "music: Fade in" on "Macros", but I don't understand what sort of link I must use.

Thank you for a new tutorial.

Hi GreenLake! That's a great question.

You can add the URL of an MP3, like this:

Code: [Select]

<<music_fadeIn "http://www.hochmuth.com/mp3/Haydn_Cello_Concerto_D-1.mp3">>

However, the answer is complicated, because there are security restrictions in Firefox, IE, Chrome, etc. that present you from adding a URL outside of adventurecow.com. Two possible solutions to that, for now:

• You can email support@adventurecow.com and we'll help you upload an MP3 file to the site.
• If you're only using the story for a class, you can get Chrome to disregard those security restrictions temporarily, by following the instructions here. Then you'll be able to use the macro as shown above.

Hope that's helpful![/list]

Thanks for your help.
I understand that it's no very easy. I will test the second solution with my group. Wa have one month to finish this work, so it's short.
With restriction on mp3, upload music or other sounds is difficult.
At any rate, thanks for your answer and your reactivity. You helped me so much.
