How do you put music behind animated GIF's?

[the_cobbinator]

Well I ask this because my friends band is having me do their website and they want to have AIM buddy icons that play music when you click on them. Does anyone know how to acchieve this?

On a website, you can upload a .SWF file with music in it. I don't think AIM support .SWF files for buddy icons though, if that's what you mean.

Alright. Thanks a lot.

swfs are flash files, you asked about GIFs....

you cant put music 'behind' an animated GIF, but you can include it as a file in your html so the music plays when the page is loaded...

<embed src="file.wav">

any webdesigner worth his salt will give this a wide berth, it reeks of amateur page builder....no offence..

like sage suggesred a little flash file is much more professional..

Yeah I know how to play music when the page loads, and yeah I am an amatuer page builder (none taken). I think what I'll do is just have downloadable music and make normal buddy icons. Thanks for the help.

He means the AIM buddy icons that play music when you click them. Not a website.

I hate unexpected music on the internet. Websites. Email. Doesn't matter. It's stupid. I despise few things more than opening an email from my mother-in-law to see a bunch of moving crap and music blasting. I woke up my son from a nap that way once. Now I just keep my copmputer on mute all the time.

Diddo. I rarely use sound on my computer at all because of this. Computers should never have been brought to the stupid people. They F'd it up for the rest of us. Just like spam. If stupid people didn't use computers spam would be ineffective and thus die off quickly. Same with viruses.

Stupid people are screwing up my life! (you can quote me on that)

Yes, that gets super annoying. I remember the first time I saw it I thought it was cool, but then it made me dizzy. And yes, stupid people are screwing up my life.
