Dear Poiu,
I'm sorry I didn't take the time to look up the "WMV" file format before I
wrote the above. It's a "Windows Video File". Are you trying to play the
sound from a video file? If so, that's a whole different animal. The
"hidden" command makes a bit more sense if you're playing a video, with it's
accompaning sound, and hiding the video. I can see also why a popup would
come up asking for the file to download. If there is a particular song you
are after I would suggest you convert it from a CD to an audio file and then
upload it. I beleive the "background sound" program is intended to only play
audio files. Its like mixing apples and oranges. It's not intended to work
with video or "flash" either.
Sincerely,
Fm
