1st & for all; GREAT TUTORIAL!!!
i had a lot of searching done to finaly get this one!
realy looks great.

easy to adjust & all.
but after following all the details…
if get only this error:

ioErrorHandler: [IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file:///C|/Users/Nico%20De%20Mey/Desktop/TheBestDayEver.mp3"]

If the volume slider is moved while a song is not playing, the movie throws an Error #1009.

Do you have a fix for this?

Nicolas- did anybody tell you yet to set up an IOError handler? I had the same problem. AS3 seems to demand it for media loading (or at least mp3s as they are loaded in this player).

for text formatting, here’s what I ended up doing- I think you need to have a font object in the file library to go with the font called in the style script.

//import for datatyping your library/embedded font.
import flash.text.Font;

//import for setting the formatting style.
import flash.text.TextFormat;

var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
var Samarkan:Font = new samarkan();
myFormat.font = Samarkan.fontName;
myFormat.color = “0xFFFFFF”;
myFormat.size = 16;

playList.setRendererStyle(”textFormat”, myFormat);
playList.setRendererStyle(”embedFonts”, true);

good luck!

I am fairly new to AS3… I have CS4 and when I try to re-save the example file the buttons go bonkers and flash constantly. The program of course gives me a dialog box that says you have to convert it from CS3 to CS4…
What can I do to fix this?

Thank you, and by the way, your tutorial is exceptional)))
