    Default Audio file ??

    I would like to add an audio file clip to a website that says a few quick
    lines as a "personalization" technique however as visitors navigate to and
    from the page it is set to load on, I do not want it to continue to load.

    Basically, I want to set the file to load once per session per visitor and
    that's it so it doesn't become an annoyance but I am unsure how this can be
    done. Can it be done? I would really like some feedback if anyone has any
    suggestions.

    Thanks,
    Mike D.

    that is simple

    don't use any built in player component, simply create a link to the file

    then only when clicked, it will load

    Wow Anton, fast response! Yes, I considered this as a option however I would
    really prefer putting the message out there without any user intervention.
    It would assure the message was heard and not overlooked or ignored. I will
    consider this as an option but would rather control things via a session
    cookie if possible.

    Thanks!

    You might try this. Embed a flash audio player into a frame instead of the
    main page. Keep looping set to off or false and be sure to offer a button
    to stop the dang thing. This might do what you want.

    Nancy,

    I see the idea behind putting a player with an off button but I'm confused
    as to what difference there would be between just putting the player on the
    page with controls and putting it in a frame. I must be overlooking the
    obvious but would there be a benefit?

    Thanks,
    Mike D.

    I was thinking you meant an iframe but I see I was wrong. Well, yes that
    sounds like an option but I too am not a fan of framed pages and neither are
    the search engines from what I've read. I am still looking for someone that
    knows how to do this via a cookie as I do not know how it's done. Thanks
    Nancy and Anton for your suggestions and if anyone knows how to do this via
    a session cookie, I'd really like to hear from you.

    Thanks,

    If I'm not mistaken, a frame loads just one time. So if a user jumps to
    other pages, the audio would complete and not repeat (if looping is off)
    when user jumps back to main page.
    I don't usually recommend frames but... this might provide the workaround
    you want without using cookie JavaScript.
