How do I....

[Elli]

Ok, once I accidentally mouseover a flash banner in here, how do I turn OFF the sound if it's on a loop? I'm not mentioning any names, but damn that's annoying. Just include the little sound on/off icon like most other sites/ecards/flash movies do out there. That would be a little more courteous, I think.

either hit Mute or click on another link. thats about the only way to stop the damn thing.

Take Mr. Sledgehammer and introduce him to Mr. Computer Box.

or hit stop on ur browser if your on IE

Opening a new tab or removing focus from that tab doesn't stop the sound. I have to actually leave that page. You'd think that would be bad for business to shorten the eye-time your banner gets.

Stop only stops loading a page. The page has been loaded and the flash movie has been triggered.

That's fairly cheap... ;)

nope. you either gotta kill the tab with the banner in it or get it off of the page with the banner on it. and i agree about it not being good, not to mention pissing some people off.

Yeah, that quickbuck banner can be rather annoying.

Oops, no names right. Sorry.... bah, I'm too lazy to hit the backspace.

Anyway, the fastest and easiest way is to just hit the reload button (or F5) real quick.

QB? Nope, that's not the one I ran into today.... Think AC/DC over and over and over again....

and again.

oh one more time.

just for shits n giggles.

Hey, I haven't heard AC/DC in a while.





They're creating not only a visual blind spot but a 'no mouse' zone.

in Firefox F5 or reload.

if you look in the upper right hand corner of the banner there is a little box to close it out.

also Firefox has extentions to get ride of flash bullshit.

Reload the page. Well, that will have to do. I happen to enjoy flash elements of pages in general, so I don't want to block everything Flash.

I just end up not promoting anyone who isn't respectful of my browser/speakers.

Looks like they went to the naughty allie school of advertising. Remember how many people signed up for allies site when she had the banner that did not stop on mouseout.

Not to mention the fact that the audio was explicit dialog, rather than just stealing copyrighted music like everyone else does...
