SYMPTOMS
When you attach a sound file to a hover button, the sound
does not play.
CAUSE
A sound file attached to a hover button will not play if it
is in stored in a format, such as .wav, Musical Instrument Digital Interface
(.mid), or Real Audio (.ram).
In FrontPage 98, a hover button is a
Java-based applet that can use 8-bit, 8000 Hz, mono, u-law audio (.au) files
only. The .au file format is an audio digital file format supported by the Java
programming language, developed by Sun Microsystems. This file format is
commonly used on UNIX and NeXT computers.
RESOLUTION
To use a sound file as an effect on a hover button, convert
the sound file to the .au format by using a sound conversion utility, which is
available from a third-party software vendor.
Microsoft has two
sample audio files (Train.au and Click.au) in a self-extracting archive called
Ausample.exe. To use these files, download the following file from the
