Embedding MP3 files

The MP3 file can be embedded in the page by entering [Handler] into the text field on the file upload form.

The [Handler] text causes the Webulator software to invoke its 'Handler' routines for the MP3 file and causes a small embedded flash MP3 player to appear which gives the user start and pause buttons, a progress bar and a volume control as shown below.

Extra parameters can be added after the [handler] text: width: width in pixels of the player (default is 300) Because of the way the MP3 player software works, the value controls all players on a page. If you specify the width more than once, the last one on the page will have precedence. loop: whether or not to loop the audio (i.e. start playing it again once it has finished). Permitted values are true or false, default is false. play: whether or not to play the audio automatically when the page opens. Permitted values are true or false, default is false. Use with caution as this can be irritating! initialvolume: A value for the volume control on the player. 0 is silent, 100 is full volume, default is 100. showfile: In addition to showing the MP3 player, the file can also be displayed as a file icon for download along with the text supplied with the showfile argument. In the example below we have used [Handler]loop=true;initialvolume=50;showfile=Download the MP3 file

Those who do not have a flash and javascript enabled browser will see a link to the MP3 file, which will allow them to download it and play it elsewhere.
