hi guys,
im using flash mx 2004, and i would like to know if its possible to create an app thats goes get the mp3 files from a storage website and playing it in mine?
like..i have an acount in an website that lets me keep there my mp3 and other files and they give links for embeding and even have mp3 palyer in their site, but i would like to pull those mp3 into my site cause i only have 5 gb storage...is there anyway to do this?
Thanks!

Sure, you can put the player on your site and then use an absolute web address in the player to load the external file from another site or Web address.
The address could be... for example:
must be complete with the "http://www.yoursite.com" part.
Use that as the path in your player to the .mp3 file.
Best of luck,

som.start(0,0)
any idea?
Thanks!

Nope, getURL is just used to redirect to another page. The method/function loadSound accepts the first parameter (URL) as a String (no need to use getURL or something else), so you just type the URL in there:
Actionscript Code:track = new Sound();
track.loadSound("url to mp3", true)
som.start(0,0)
Maybe you were confused from AS3, because there you have to use URLRequest :p
Yes, as Nig 13 says:
Copy and paste into a new Flash doc to test.Quote:
stop();
track = new Sound();
track.loadSound("http://www.uncledoodad.com/02_05_11/a_Congo_Square_02_05_11.mp3", true)
start(0,0)

thanks guys, im gonna try it soon...now im on a "resting" mood..well..im just choosing some tracks from compilations to insert in my mixsets...i will check it later on...much thanks!

If you plan on using multiple mp3s, then you might want to consider using an audio player with uses a playlist. Then you can use an .xml file to populate the playlist.Quote:
choosing some tracks
And the use of an absolute address for each mp3 will work just as well there.

yes..im using a playlist in my website "radio"...feel free to visit http://www.thebeastpost.com
but i already have there more than 24 hours of mixsets (only mixsets because of copyrights) and i only have a 5gb storage there....so basicaly what i want to do is to move my mixsets to jumbofiles.com wich lets me store till 500gb data but access the sets there from my webpage... btw..i even have a hall of fame for mixsets of high producers and djs..this ones are redirected to jumbofiles.com but they are made in order to open jumbofiles.com page...with this tip you guys gave me is much more easy.... :)
im seeing here something in the code you guys gave me..it ends ".mp3" but the links i have from jumbofiles.com end ".html.mp3" or theres some tiny links as they call that dont even end in .mp3 nor .html ... they just end in a "code" of letters...do you think it will result anyway?...well...im gonna find out soon anyway eheheheh.....my compilation is ending...thanks!!
Duarte V.
ok..i tried it and does not work i believe?!!!...the links end ".mp3.html" and not like i said before (".html.mp3") ... should this work anyway?.. maybe im not doing it right :s
This link is to an html file:
which is NOT an mp3 file... and it will not work.Quote:
".mp3.html"
If you are storing your mp3s on a sever... then that is NOT the address. It may be a Web page that contains the .mp3, but that is not the absolute address to the actual mp3 on the server.
You really need the actual location on the server of the .mp3 file.
How are you uploading the mp3 files to that server? Are you using FTP software?
VM
no the site is Jumbofiles.com .. go check if you want..i just create a free account and lets me store my mp3 there or any other data till 500gb of storage.... you can even listen the mp3 from there..heres an eg: http://jumbofiles.com/2k4l4ph329p8/S...02006.mp3.html .... click free downloadQuote:

Can you provide an actual link to an mp3 stored on the site?

Looking more into Jumbofiles... I don't think that they are providing a Web server service, they seem to just be providing a "storage" place where you can download files.
That type of sevice will not work for playing you mp3s, since they are not interacting with Web pages like a Web server does.
I could be wrong but I just don't see they they are providing what you need.
Not sure where you are hosting your Web site now or how much you are paying, but there are plenty of good, cheap hosting companies out there.
www.lunarpages.com is one I can recommend. Even the most basic package comes with unlimited storage and unlimted bandwidth.
Check it out!

thanks..ill check it out

hey..ive been checking and the site that i say where i can keep my files offers this code to embed mp3
<IFRAME SRC="http://jumbofiles.com/embedmp3-o8dtgmklcygc/Ed Rush and Optical - Out Of The Box.mp3.html" FRAMEBORDER=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 SCROLLING=NO WIDTH=270 HEIGHT=24></IFRAME>
i believe this is something to insert in html pages right?
is there anyway to modify it to suite my needs????
Thanks!
Duarte V.
Yes an iframe is HTML and can be inserted into another HTML page.
But it has nothing to do with Flash and cannot be used inside a .fla as part of a Flash application.
There is very little you can do to modify an iframe and I don't see how it would fit into your original project.
But yes, you can use that iframe on an HTML page. Just remember that you are not accessing the actual .mp3 file but rather loading a separate HTML page into an iframe which is then embedded into your own Web page.
