Music Player via XML - Play & Stop

[JulesFrog]

Hello Flash Kit Community. I have a pretty easy question for you Flash gurus regarding a script I am using to play mp3s via an XML file. The example I found does the job just fine, but it plays the 1st song right away when it loads. I would like to stop the song from playing on load and let the user activate it by pushing the play button instead.

This is the code:

title_txt.autoSize = "left";
timeDisplay_txt.autoSize = "left";
toolTip._visible = false;
var amountLoaded:Number;
var duration:Number;

playlist = new XML();
playlist.ignoreWhite = true;
playlist.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
        _global.songname = [];
        _global.songband = [];
        _global.songfile = [];
        for (var i = 0; i<playlist.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {
        _global.songname[i] = playlist.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.name;
        _global.songband[i] = playlist.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.band;
        _global.songfile[i] = playlist.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.file;
        attachMovie("butTemp","but"+i,i+50);
        eval("but"+i).id=i;
        _root["but"+i]._x = 5;
        _root["but"+i]._y = 40 + (i*15);
        _root["but"+i].but_txt.text = songname[i];
        if (i >= 3){
            _root["but"+i]._x = 160
            _root["but"+i]._y = -5 + (i*15);
        }
        _root["but"+i].onRelease = function(){
            clearInterval(timeInterval);
            _root.timeDisplay_txt.text = "00:00/00:00";
            _root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[this.id]);
        }
    }
    }
    _root.createEmptyMovieClip("sound_mc", 1);
    _global.song_nr = random(songfile.length);
    _root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr]);
};

MovieClip.prototype.songStarter = function(file) {
    if (this.sound_obj) {
        this.sound_obj.stop();
        delete this.sound_obj;
    }
    this.sound_obj = new Sound(this);
    this.sound_obj.loadSound(file, true);
    this.sound_obj.setVolume(0);
    this.onEnterFrame = function() {
        if (this.sound_obj.position>0) {
            delete this.onEnterFrame;
            timeInterval = setInterval(timer, 1000, this.sound_obj);
            track = this.sound_obj.id3.songname;
            artist = this.sound_obj.id3.artist;
            this._parent.title_txt.text =artist+" - "+track;
        } else {
            this._parent.title_txt.text = "loading...";
        }

    };          
    this.sound_obj.onSoundComplete = function() {
        clearInterval(timeInterval);
        _root.timeDisplay_txt.text = "00:00/00:00";
        (song_nr == songfile.length-1) ? _global.song_nr=0 : _global.song_nr++;
        _root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr]);
    };
    this._parent.volume1.dragger.onPress = function() {
        startDrag(this, true, 0, this._y, this._parent.volBG._width, this._y);
        _root.toolTip._visible = true;
        setInterval(draggableTip,100);
        function draggableTip(){
            _root.toolTip._x = _root._xmouse;
        }
        this.onEnterFrame = function() {
            var p = (this._x/this._parent.volBG._width)*100;
            this._parent._parent.sound_mc.sound_obj.setVolume(p);
            
        };
    };
    this._parent.volume1.dragger.onRelease = function() {
        delete this.onEnterFrame;
        stopDrag();
        
    };
    this._parent.volume1.dragger.onReleaseOutside = function() {
        _root.toolTip._visible = false;
        stopDrag();
        
    };
};

btn_play.onRelease = function() {
    clearInterval(timeInterval);
    _root.timeDisplay_txt.text = "00:00/00:00";
    this._parent.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr]);
};
btn_stop.onRelease = function() {
    clearInterval(timeInterval);
    _root.timeDisplay_txt.text = "00:00/00:00";
    this._parent.sound_mc.sound_obj.stop();
};
btn_fw.onRelease = function() {
    clearInterval(timeInterval);
    _root.timeDisplay_txt.text = "00:00/00:00";
    (song_nr == songfile.length-1) ? _global.song_nr=0 : _global.song_nr++;
    _root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr]);
};
btn_rev.onRelease = function() {
    clearInterval(timeInterval);
    _root.timeDisplay_txt.text = "00:00/00:00";
    (song_nr == 0) ? _global.song_nr=songfile.length-1 : _global.song_nr--;
    _root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr]);
};
playlist.load("playlist.xml");
setInterval(duration,100);
setInterval(soundStatus,100);

I'm thinking it might be around these lines:

this.sound_obj = new Sound(this);
this.sound_obj.loadSound(file, true);
this.sound_obj.setVolume(0);

Can anyone help?

Use AS tags intead of Quote for your scripts samples. It makes them way more easy to read. See the sticky or the guidelines in this forum.

More info on loadSound here. True means it's streaming, so it plays as soon as buffered. Wait to load then.
