Basically I need help creating an MP3 player for my website. I want it to be small, with the only functions being "play", "stop", "next", "previous", as well as some sort of display to show the song title - and I want it to load streaming MP3s from a playlist of some sort, so I can have like 10 or so MP3s not directly inside the Flash file but just in the same basic directory. I'm relatively new to Flash MX and what not, but I've tried using several tutorials and none of them seem to do exactly what I'm looking for. Any help? Thanks.
In the ZIP file within this one is the original sample MP3 player that I found on this site, it uses XML to load and play a playlist of MP3s. Works fine in it's original form.
MainwinMX.fla is the file I created, and I basically just copied and pasted the player into that in it's entirety - and it doesn't work, it loads the XML file (as it DOES display track names), but then it never plays the audio. Any help here?
I think Bfly03 wanted a little more info than what you provided. I think he's trying to get it working for himself, not just concerned about if you managed it or not, but mostly how...
Usage: Drag and Drop the Component from the Components Panel after installing it. Select the Streaming mode value (true = on, false = off), write the playlist file (specifying its path, the file can be in any format, PHP, ASP, CF, TXT, etc.) and the mp3 files path in the apposite fields and you are ready to go.
Could someone give me an example of a playlist file ?

I appreciate the link and will check it out after i get off work. i was wondering if you got the component to work for you though? if so could you tell me the format the 'playlist' needs to be in. i tried making one last night but i really didnt understand what i needed to do.
cheers,

That player over there has a BAT file that automatically generates an XML playlist (which is editable with Notepad)... and yeah, it seems to work all right.
hello guys..
does anyone know where I can get a simple mp3 player like the one on www.thornleyband.com or if anyone knows what is wrong with the code on this player? I have attached the file--i need this to play automatically on my website once it loads.
There is something wrong with the code though...
if you want to see where it is now---goto www.peeler.ca
it is in the bottom corner and ONLY plays automatically once the page is refreshed....yet in my browser on my local machine when I test it..it works automatically soon as I test the flash movie.
Here is the code;

if you see the player @ www.peeler.ca you'll now see what it is doing.
I have it showing song titles....but it shows some weird code in the title bar at first.(and doesn't play on start--it has to be refreshed first)
If you can check it...check it...if not...don't worry..I'll figure it out.
Just strange..
No biggie though---now I just want to know what the prob is.
Anyone know how to get this player to play automatically as soon as the website loads? Or does anyone know what the strange code on my current player at www.peeler.ca is? and why it is showing? I am also trying to get it to play automatically.
in the player it uses frames to set up which music is to be played. all u have to do is set inthe first frame what song you want to be played by using the same sound object. it will stream it obnce. after that it will carry on as normal with the rest of the site
