So I am a complete novice at XML as was evident in my attempts to figure this out on my own. I have the following code to control the "Songs" section of my website and I would like the following features:
1. Not have the music automatically start when the user enters the frame. (I thought this was due to line 3 code but it still played after I deleted that code)
2. Add a "Back" button to go back 1 song.
Any help is much appreciated.
Actionscript Code:
// Setup sound object
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.onSoundComplete = playSong;
s.setVolume(75);
// Array of songs
var sa:Array = new Array();
// Currently playing song
var cps:Number = -1;
// Position of music
var pos:Number;
// Load the songs XML
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.onLoad = function()
{
var nodes:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for(var i=0;i<nodes.length;i++)
{
sa.push(new Song(nodes[i].attributes.url, nodes[i].attributes.artist, nodes[i].attributes.track));
}
playSong();
}
xml.load("songs.xml");
// Play the MP3 File
function playSong():Void
{
s = new Sound();
s.onSoundComplete = playSong;
s.setVolume(75);
mute.gotoAndStop("on");
if(cps == sa.length - 1)
{
cps = 0;
s.loadSound(sa[cps].earl, true);
}
else
{
s.loadSound(sa[++cps].earl, true);
}
trackInfo.text = sa[cps].artist + " - " + sa[cps].track;
playPause.gotoAndStop("pause");
textPos = 0;
}
// Pauses the music
function pauseIt():Void
{
pos = s.position;
s.stop();
}
// Pauses the music
function unPauseIt():Void
{
s.start(pos/1000);
}
// Music Controls
// Play/Pause Toggle
playPause.onRollOver = function()
{
if(this._currentframe == 1) this.gotoAndStop("pauseOver");

}
}
// Next Button

}
next.onRollOut = next.onReleaseOutside = function()
{
