Hi Paul
Thanks for this.
I am using this as an external swf, that loads into another movie. since I have uploaded it to my server I am getting an error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.

I have tested it in a local setting and it seems to work fine but in safari and firefox it is simply not loading and I am getting one of these irritating error boxes that AS3 is so generous with…

you can see the WIP at http://www.tsohonis.com/manooghi/manooghiSite.html
just click on the gramophone object and it will bring up the movieclip the mp3 swf is set to load into. thanks

Yeah great job!

Can you please instruct on how to set the SONG TITLE font styles??

Have had no luck with the above examples.

Thanks

Great tutorial, this is really useful.
I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on how I would go about getting each new song to jump to a new frame in the timeline?
you see I want to show different animated graphics when each song plays.
Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks Melissa

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what I did (just pulled the buttons and parts that I wanted out of the FLV Playback). I may be remembering things wrong though.

I keep feeling like I should redo this tutorial, since I think I would do things a little differently now.

Can you build the same interface but instead of using the FLVplayback skin, can you just drag out just the buttons you want from the FLV Playback Custom UI area. If so will it wire up the same?
I’m sure this tutorial will help me learn a ton, but I wanted to make sure I’m following along right.

Thanks again, this is awesome!

Please forgive my noobism…I’ve added an image path to the XML, and I’ve got it loading along with the MP3 player, however I’m not successful in getting the “next item clicked” image path to correctly load.

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated…example files can be found here: http://www.lustload.com/dl/mp3-image-help.zip

Many thanks in advance,

I suppose you could move the load code into the play button’s click event handler function. Then you would have to close the stream completely in the stop button’s click event handler function. Currently that code is all in the playList’s ListEvent.ITEM_CLICK function, “SnglClick”.

I’m not about to do it for you, but if you want to give it a try yourself and need to ask me more questions I will answer them gladly.

Thanks for the mp3 player! it is just splendid…

However I’ve been having a problem regarding the bandwidth, and is that as soon as the page is loaded, the mp3 player starts buffering the music, even if the client doesn’t press play… is there anyway of starting buffering the music when one presses play and then stopping the buffering when stop is pressed? that would save me lots of trouble, since I use the mp3 player in a swf with a video player, and when someone wants to watch the video, it just goes too slow because the mp3 player is occupying half of the connection.

Thanks in advance!,
