[hobbit] play sound

I wrote a custom script to do this via javascript. It's a bit over-complicated I think, but I haven't had time to go back and optimize it. It works, and well enough. We keep the non-sound version of bb2.html separate, and thus I had to create a separate page. If you don't need to keep it separate, you could just modify the bb2_header file and include the tag we're adding with the php script. We also added a menu link to the bb2.php page via the menu_items.js file. Replace the sound with whatever you want to be played. Here are the files I wrote:

bb2.php:

<?

    $bb2file = fopen("bb2.html", "r") or die("Can't open bb2.html");

    if ($bb2file)

    {

    while (!feof($bb2file))

    {

            $daline = fgets($bb2file);

            if ($daline === "</head>\n" || $daline === "</HEAD>\n")

            {

                    echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\"

language=\"javascript\" src=\"playsound.js\"></script>\n";

            }

            if (preg_match("$<[bB][oO][dD]$", $daline))

            {

                    echo $daline;

                    echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"sounds_on\"

id=\"sounds_on\" value=\"true\" />";

                    break;

            }

            echo $daline;

    }

    }

    while (!feof($bb2file))

    {

            $daline = fgets($bb2file);

            echo $daline;

    }

    flcose($bb2file);

?>

The Javascript "playsound.js":

function doAlarm()

{

    var casdf = document.getElementsByTagName("body");

    var dasdf = casdf[0].innerHTML;

    var myEmbed = document.createElement('embed');

    myEmbed.setAttribute('src','giddyupthing.mp3');

    myEmbed.setAttribute('hidden','true');

    myEmbed.setAttribute('autostart','true');

    myEmbed.setAttribute('loop','false');

    myEmbed.setAttribute('id','theAlarm');

    casdf[0].appendChild(myEmbed);

}

function check_table(aasdf)

{

    var basdf = aasdf.getElementsByTagName("img")

    var buh = false;

    for (i=0;i<=basdf.length;i++)

    {

            if (basdf[i] != undefined)

            {

            if (basdf[i].title != undefined)

            {

                    var broken = basdf[i].title.split(":");

                    if (broken[1] == "red" || broken[1] == "yellow")

                    {

                            if (broken[2] != "acked")

You could use BBtray and stick in the wave file accordingly.

http://www.deadcat.net/viewfile.php?fileid=233

If you want it to be embedded on the WWW pages then you'll have find out what outputs the red/yellow/green/purple backgrounds and title and embed flash (at least I suggest flash) file along side that.

Is it possible to play a sound (through bbdisplay) when an alert it triggered (red, purple, whatever)? This feature is used in Sitescope . . . but Sitescope doesn't hold a flame to hobbit.
