Attribute for <EMBED ...>
LOOP = TRUE | FALSE | # of loops
LOOP indicates how many times to play the sound or movie. In general, LOOP indicates if the sound or movie should (TRUE) or should not (FALSE) loop continuously.
Sounds
For sounds, both MSIE and Netscape recognize TRUE and FALSE. FALSE is the default.
Netscape also allows you to loop a finite number of times.
(For MSIE use PLAYCOUNT)
This code tells Netscape to play the sound three times. MSIE plays the sound continuously.

produces this |
<EMBED

LOOP=3

You can combine this with MSIE's PLAYCOUNT attribute (which in MSIE takes precedence over LOOP) to tell both browsers to loop three times:
| this code |
produces this |
<EMBED
SRC="../graphics/sounds/helloo.wav"
LOOP=3
PLAYCOUNT=3
HEIGHT=60 WIDTH=144

Movies
LOOP can be set to TRUE or FALSE for movies.
We have found in researching LOOP that Netscape has several inconsistencies among media types. For example, we have not been able to get MPEGs for loop reliably. As with everything involving
<EMBED ...>, be careful what you rely on.
