Question

I am trying to create a button on an ASP.net site which when you press it, enables a music player to start streaming music on the site.

I know how to create the button and how to handle events, I just can’t enable my player to start playing the *.mp3 file.

This is the music player that im using on regular html sites.

 <embed src="music/ToGlory.mp3" width="140" height="40" autostart="false" loop="TRUE" hidden="True"></embed>

What I was trying to do looks like this:

Sub submit(s As Object, e As EventArgs)

button=embed src=”music/ToGlory.mp3″ width=”140″ height=”40″ autostart=”false” loop=”TRUE” hidden=”True” /embed

End Sub

Answer 1

Try

The .aspx Button control

<asp:button id="Button1"
       usesubmitbehavior="true"
       text="Click it and Play it!"
       onclientclick="Play('URL to sound file, ex: http://www.my.com/a.mp3')"
       runat="server" onclick="Button1_Click" />

The JavaScript:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
 function Play(soundfile) {
 document.getElementById("Button1").innerHTML=
 "<embed src=\""+soundfile+"\" hidden=\"true\" autostart=\"true\" loop=\"false\" />";
 }
 </script>

+1 if this helps 🙂 .
