Adding a sound saved as a movie to your page

You can easily add a sound that has been saved as a QuickTime movie to your page. The way you do this is somewhat different from the way you add other QuickTime movies.

To add a sound saved as a movie to your page, follow these instructions:

  1. Open Claris Home Page, if it's not already open.
  2. Open the page to which you want to add the sound.
  3. Choose Edit Page from the Window menu.
  4. Open the folder you're using to store sounds for your Web site project.
  5. Arrange your desktop so that you can see both the page you're working on and the sounds folder window.
  6. Drag the icon of the sound file you want to use to your page. (You can drag the icon to any place on the page.)
  7. When the movie appears on the page, double-click it to open the Object Editor window.
  8. Open the Controller pop-up menu and choose Yes to add playback controls to the movie. You may want to choose Autoplay to have the sound play automatically when the Web page opens. (If the Controller pop-up menu is not visible, click the right-pointing arrow at the bottom of the Object Editor window.)
  9. Click the Object Editor window's close box.
  10. Choose Save from the File menu.
  11. Choose Preview in Browser from the File menu.
