playing consecutive wav files
Hello,
I'd like to be able to play "x" number of wav files consecutively. I can easily set up a javascript function to pick a specific file to play, or even a random file, but I'd like to be able to hit a button, and have a number of wav files play consecutively. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Bob

You could use a play list. Many of the streaming platforms support this (Real, Microsoft, QuickTime, etc). However if you want to use WAV's you'll need to be a little more inventive. The only two ways I can think of would be separate HTML pages for each wav with a timed refresh or you could use JavaScript and make it so they get a different WAV file each time the page is loaded (still using the time refresh).

Adam,
Thanks for the help. I was able to figure out a way to play the wav files consecutively. I just created to functions, one that plays file x, the other that calls that function consecutively to play file 0,1,2,etc. Each call is in a setTimeout with increasing delay times to account for the playing of the file in front of it, i.e.
setTimeout("playit(0)",1000);
setTimeout("playit(1)",2000);
.

.
etc.
Maybe a little archaic, but it works! Thanks again
