playing external mp3, best way

[needafixx2]

I want to make a small movie with just a play/stop and rewind button to play an external mp3 file. Any ideas?

What is an "external" mp3 file? Need more info.

Hi needafixx2,

If you are using Flash MX, you can load an external mp3 by using the following code attached to a button:

on(release){
   mySong = new Sound();
   mySong.loadSound("mySong1.mp3",false); //true or false tells the mp3 to stream. Also put mp3 file in same folder as fla
   mySong.start();
}

As far as the buttons, read through hp3s Sticky Note. It is extremely helpful.
