Vocabulary Vocabulary plug-in object

Such objects as the sound data (*.wav; *.mid; *.au) and multimedia data (Shockwave, VRML) that you can play back on a Web browser. They are called plug-in objects because you must add the plug-in applications to your Web browser to play them.


Note Note You cannot create sound or multimedia data using TopPage. To create it, use other applications.


  1. Click the Contents tab.

  2. Select Sound from the upper left box (Sound is one of the sample materials) to display several sample sound files.

    Tip Tip If you drag and drop a file with the right mouse button, a pop-up menu is displayed at the dropping location.

    If you select Insert as Background Sound from the preceding pop-up menu, the file becomes the background sound for your Web page. (This function is supported only by Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later, and Internet Explorer 4.0 or later.)

  4. Select Paste as a Plug-in to insert the sound data at the position where you dropped the file as an plug-in object. The sound data is indicated by the Sound mark mark.

Note Note To play back the inserted plug-in objects on your Web browser, the plug-in applications must have been added to your Web browser. Not all Web browsers have the plug-in applications. Decide whether to use plug-in objects, after considering the purpose or target readers of your Web pages.
