But I figured out why it was playing twice. I have an animation effect on my flash site where I had to have the same symbol but with different instance names, so basically duplicated the symbol and deleted the mp3 player from the duplicate, and then placed the duplicate in place of the original symbol in the time lime.

SO everything works great now!

Except for the volume control…ha.

It would be cool to figure out why that isn’t working.

I’m sure it has something to do with the way it’s being targeted.

I haven’t changed the code at all since my first two posts. So if you see something in the code that I’m doing wrong in terms of the volume, then I would really appreciate it if you told me about it.

Thanks again.

And once again, this is a great mp3 player for as2. Really came in handy.

Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

I have it on the music page of the flash site.
The only real issue I have is that when the user initially goes to the music page, two songs play at the same time. I haven’t uploaded it to the server yet, I’ve only tested it locally so far.

When you hit the stop, or the previous or next buttons then only one song plays, which is how it should work, which is good.

But how do I get it to not play two songs at the same time when the user initially goes to the page?

Also to note, the timer only works when the user initially goes to the music page. After hitting, stop, or previous or next, the timer goes to all zeros and never moves, even though the music is playing. Something tells me that by solving the main issue, of the the two songs playing at the same time when the user initially goes to the music page, will solve this issue as well.

Also, the volume control, is selectable but when you move it, it goes all the way down to mute, and the user can’t bring the volume back up. But this is not so important to me, I was actually going to get rid of the volume control if I couldn’t get it to work.

and is the problem with id,

eval(“but”+i).id = i;

so now when i have this:

_root.playlist["but"+i].onRelease = function() {
_root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[this.id]);

it says “undefined”.

Can I solve this somehow else, but putting it ALL in a separate movieClip ?

I did the exact thing here.. but track title still not visible! also the playhead isn’t moving? volume bar neither…

THANK YOU.

About 6 months back I was working on learning to make a streaming audio player guy of sorts.
It used a method that involved making a layer for the sound file, and extending the video’s frame length until the end of the song, and saving seperate .swfs for each song.

I’m currently working on getting my page online for hosting music me and my friend make, and was going to re-use that media handler I already made…

Flash kept crashing any time I tried to import a “song” into the library — and when I imported the control video without a song, it was totally disfunctional anyway (scope problems regarding _roots, I’m certain.)

I went to find solutions – and was coming up dry. I also didn’t want to spend much if any money. I would rather laboriously learn how to make something that someone else sells for $10-$20 (components)

I stumbled across your page after lots of googling… THANK YOU SO MUCH!

This functionality is EXACTLY what I want to be able to apply my custom design stuff, and easily manage files via an XML file (instead of having to update the flash code).

i tried to use this code but i isn’t working… help anyone?

I would like to be able to pick which playlist is loaded to the player from a dropdown list. I am no expert and any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks in advance.
