Flash :: Flash MP3 Player 1 Tutorial Problem

Flash MP3 Player Tutorial...HELP
Hi! I tried to make an MP3 player with the tutorial provided here. The music was playing until i created the play pause buttons. After that no music was playing, nothing happens on rollovers on the buttons, but there are no erroes in the action script.

Here is the code i uses, and you can get the files here http://www.x-piral.com/dp/new.rar

Actionscipt code for mp3Player.as

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=newSound();
s.setVolume(75);
s.onSoundComplete=playSong;
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");
}

// Pauses the Music
function pauseIt():Void
{
pos = s.position
s.stop();
}

// Unpauses the Music
function unPauseIt():Void
{
s.start(pos/1000);
}

// Music controls

// Play/Pause Toggle
playPause.onRollOver=function()
{
if(this._currentframe==1) this.gotoandStop("pauseOver");
else this.gotoAndStop("playOver");
}
playPause.onRollOut=playPause.onReleaseOutside=function()
{
if(this._currentframe==10) this.gotoandStop("pause");
else this.gotoAndStop("play");
}

playPause.onRelease=function()
{
if(this._currentframe==10)
{
this.gotoAndStop("playOver");
this._parent.pauseIt();
}
else
{
this.gotoAndStop("pauseOver");
this._parent.unPauseIt();
}
}

//Next Button
next.onRollOver=function()
{
this.gotoAndStop("nextOver");
}
next.onRollOut=next.onReleaseOutside=function()
{
this.gotoAndStop("next");
}

next.onRelease=function()
{
this._parent.playSong();
}

// Mute Button

mute.onRollOver=function()
{

else this.gotoAndStop("offOver");
}
mute.onRollOut=mute.onReleaseOutside=function()
{

else this.gotoAndStop("off");
}

mute.onRelease=function()
{

{
this.gotoAndStop("offOver");
s.setVolume(0);
}
else
{
this.gotoAndStop("onOver");
s.setVolume(75);
}
}

Actionscript for Song.as

Code:

class Song
{
public var earl:String;
public var artist:String;
public var track:String;

public function Song(e:String, a:String, t:String)
{
earl=e;
artist=a;
track=t;
}
}

XML "songs.xml"
Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<songs>
<song url = "music/piano.mp3" artist="artist Name" track="Track Name"/>
<song url = "music/rain.mp3"artist="artist Name" track="Track Name"/>
<song url = "music/thievery.mp3"artist="artist Name" track="Track Name"/>
</songs>

Can you find what went wrong here?[/code]

Flash Mp3 Player - Tutorial 1 Issue
Hi all.

I have followed the tutorial and found it very useful. However, after finishing the tutorial and testing my movie, I found that the tracks didnt play and I also got the following message in flash Cs3

Error opening URL 'file:///F|/mp3/undefined'

I figured that it was because of where everything was on my computer so uploaded it to my server and im still having the same problem. Could anyone shed some light on this for me ?

Cheers

Xml And Photogallery Tutorial - Works Fine For Flash Player 9 But Not 7
Hi

I've followed the tutorial called XML and dynamic photo gallery. Everything is working fine - except that the image isn't being shown unless I use Flash Player 9 to view it... I wonder is there something special about the loadMovie function?

I know for sure that I can't see the image in Flash 7... I've incorporated the tutorial into something I've done myself so it's hard to say whether it's because of masks, or instance sizes or what...

Thanks for any help,

Continuous MP3 Player - Based On MP3 Player Tutorial 2
A simple question but i CANT FIGURE IT OUT

so, with the first tutorial, the songs play continously throughout the list.

But the 2nd tutorial for the mp3player doesnt do that. It just stops playing after the first song.

is there anyway we can make it continous, playing all the songs in the list and still have the button controls on it?

Looking For An AS 3.0 MP3 Player Tutorial
I was wondering if any of you know of a good tutorial for building an OOP MP3 player in AS 3.0.

I used the Lee Brimelow MP3 tutorials a while ago which were great.

Is there anything else like that out there or any traditional style text tutorials? Or some code that I could look at?

I'm particularly interested in how the SoundChannel class works.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Mp3 Player Tutorial As2 > As3
Hi i watched the mp3 player tutorials a few hours ago after getting a copy of flash cs3. It be as2 im looking to do this in as3 but im having the worlds most annoying time trying to do it.

ive got all the little bits working ... i think (not getting any more error mesages from them ) its just getting the xml into the array thats really not working for me.
ive spent about 4 hours now (no laughing!) and i think ive been through every tutorial on how to do it on the net. thought i had it with the kupia one but that didnt work for me either.

(all in the same folder)
XML - songs.xml
Code:

<songs>
<song url="song_of_time.mp3" />
<song url="follow_me_down.mp3" />
<song url="the_south.mp3" />
</songs>

AS - b.as
Code:

//sound object
var s:Sound = new Sound;
//s.soundComplete = playsong;
//s.setvolume(75);

//song array
var sa:Array = new Array();

//current song var
var cps:Number = -1;

var xmlString:URLRequest = new URLRequest("songs.xml");
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(xmlString);
xmlLoader.addEventListener("complete", init);

function init(event:Event):void
{
var xDoc:XMLDocument = new XMLDocument();
xDoc.ignoreWhite = true;
var songsXML:XML = XML(xmlLoader.data);
xDoc.parseXML(songsXML.toXMLString());

var nodes: Array = xDoc.firstChild.childNodes;
for(var i=0;i<nodes.length;i++)
{
   sa.push(xDoc.firstChild.childNodes.attributes.(song); <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<, this is the bit .... what the heck goes here
}
playsong();
}

function playsong():void
{
if (cps == sa.length -1)
{
   cps = 0;
   var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(sa[cps]);
   s.load(request);
} else
{
   var request2:URLRequest = new URLRequest(sa[++cps]);
   s.load(request2);
}
}

the bit with the "<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< what the heck goes here" is the main frustration at the moment.
( getting 1084 syntax errors on that line atm ... but im just trying anything possible there really )

any help would be amazingly appreciated ... think i might start whacking computer with blunt objects soon

FLV Player Or Tutorial
Hi,

I'm creating a fairly basic FLV player in flash. Is there any tutorials around about creating a preview image as the first frame, or when the movie is paused, dim the video etc.?

Any FLV video player tutorials with AS3 would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

MP3 Player Tutorial
I followed this tutorial and it is awsome.

However I would like to have the song play continuously until the user changes it. How can I achieve this.

Also My MP3 Player is at and angle and when I angle my dynamic text it will not show the text, is this a bug? Is there a work around.

I know that this causes it to play the next song

Code:

else
{
s.loadSound(sa[++cps].earl, true);
}

But if I change it or comment it out it won;t work at all

Thanks,

tmo

Mp3 Player Tutorial Help
I was wondering how I could make the song loop instead of stopping after it plays once. Below is the actionscript used to play the song on my site. Thanks for your help in advance.

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(nodes[i].attributes.url);
}
playSong();
}

xml.load("songs.xml");

// Play the MP3 File
function playSong():Void
{
s = new Sound();
if(cps == sa.length - 1)
{
   cps = 0;
   s.loadSound(sa[cps], true);
}
else
{
   s.loadSound(sa[++cps], true);
}
playPause.gotoAndStop("pause");
}

// 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");
else this.gotoAndStop("playOver");
}

playPause.onRollOut = playPause.onReleaseOutside = function()
{
if(this._currentframe == 10) this.gotoAndStop("pause");
else this.gotoAndStop("play");
}

playPause.onRelease = function()
{
if(this._currentframe == 10)
{
   this.gotoAndStop("playOver");
   this._parent.pauseIt();
}
else
{
   this.gotoAndStop("pauseOver");
   this._parent.unPauseIt();
}
}

// Next Button
next.onRollOver = function()

Creating An Mp3 Player W/ Tutorial
I'm trying to create an mp3 player using this tutorial. I can't seem to make the music play - either automatically (which I'd like it to) or when the play button is pressed. If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Main Scene Functions:
Code:
function playa() {
if (playing!=true) {
mysound=new Sound();
if (url!="http://www.mskimmyd.com/myspace/music/Rogue%20Wave%20-%20Eyes.mp3") {
mysound.loadSound(url+"http://www.mskimmyd.com/myspace/music/Rogue%20Wave%20-%20Eyes.mp3", false);
mysound.start((_root.pos)/1000,1);
if (mysound.duration!=0) {
playing=true;
}
} else {
}
}
}

function stopa() {
_root.pos=0;
mysound.stop();
playing=false;
}

function pause() {
if (playing) {
_root.pos=mysound.position;
mysound.stop();
playing=false;
}
}
Play Button Functions:
Code:

on (press) {
playa();

Would Anyone Like An Easy Mp3 Player Tutorial?
Hey guys,
im just finishing up on an mp3 player i am making in flash and am wondering whether or not i should make a tutorial. First up ill explain a bit about it.

It has these features;
Changeable balance w/ display of the current amount of balance to each side
Multiple songs
Play/Pause with one button
Stop
Song Name
Song Status
Changeable volume
Song duration display
Previous Button
Next Button
Current duration
Volume display as percentage
Image Display of current volume w/ volume status such as Mute, Normal etc..
Repeat

If you think i should make a tutorial for this, please post up here..

Please note, that if, and i probably will write a tutorial it may NOT be the only way to do these effects, though it is an easy way.
Also, using this method is only recommended for personal use, unless, you externally load your sounds.

Both of these are very possible, so i wouldn't let that affect you opinion too much

Looking For A Good Mp3 Player Tutorial Or Example
I would like to create an mp3 player but my history with flash has almost no audio experience. Can anyone point me to a useful tutorial or example to work from?

The flash player needs load mp3's dynamically via .txt or xml and use the ID3 info to get the necessary information: artist, title, etc. I need the basic functionality of an mp3 player: play, stop, pause, fast forward, rewind, next/previous track, and would like it to have the option of playing continuously (like a playlist) except instead of selecting a group of songs to play, just start from the first selected mp3 then continue through the txt or xml list.

Any help would be great!
Thanks

Mp3 Player Tutorial Question
I successfully built the mp3 player from the tutorials. It works perfectly in a .swf player and when it's compiled in Flash, but the moment I try to play it in a browser... it doesn't connect. The textfield says undefined.
Being unknowledgeable of Flash, I have no idea why it can't connect to the files when it's being viewed from a browser.

Any ideas? Need to see the files? http://clay.bellmor.com/testsite/player

Also! Opening the player.swf file in Safari and FF doesn't work, but opening the player folder and then clicking on the .swf works properly...

I'm 'guessing' there's something wrong with the class setting, maybe it doesn't know where to look...

Any help would be great!

The MP3 Player Tutorial... Issues
Hi!

Well, I've had some issues with the MP3 player tutorial. To make a long story short, I finally got all the errors to go away, but my songs never played at any stage of the process, and neither of the buttons actually work, i.e., you can't click on them or anything.

I'm using Flash MX 2004 Professional. I wrote the XML code in Dreamweaver MX 2004 and the ActionScript code in Flash. The songs are all in the same directory as everything else. I am baffled. My codes are below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Charity

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 = Math.round(the_sound.position/the_sound.duration*100);

// 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(nodes[i].attributes.url)
}
}

xml.load("songs.xml");

//Play the MP3 file
function playSong():Void
{
s = new Sound();
if(cps ==sa.length - 1)
{
   cps=0;
   s.loadSound(sa[cps], true);
}
else
{
   s.loadSound(sa[++cps], true);
}
playPause.gotoAndStop("pause");
}

//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");
else this.gotoAndStop("playOver");
}

playPause.onRollOut = playPause.onReleaseOutside = function()
{
if(this._currentframe == 10) this.gotoAndStop("pause");
else this.gotoAndStop("play");
}

playPause.onRelease = function();
{
if(this._currentframe == 10)
{
   this.gotoAndStop("playOver");
   this._parent.pauseIt();
}
else
{
   this.gotoAndStop("pauseOver");
   this._parent.unPauseIt();

//Next Button
next.onRollOver = function()
{
this.gotoAndStop("nextOver");
}

next.onRollOut = next.onReleaseOutside = function()
{
this.gotoAndStop("next");
}

next.onRelease = function()
{
this._parent.playSong();
}

}

This bit:

Code:

//Position of music
var pos:Number = Math.round(the_sound.position/the_sound.duration*100);

I had to put that = Math.round... etc part because I was getting truckloads of errors without it.

Here is the XML file:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<songs>
<song url="RidingTheBell.mp3"></song>
<song url="IHadTooMuchToDreamLastNight.mp3"></song>
<song url="WickedWays.mp3"></song>
<song url="SoulOfTheSea.mp3"></song>
<song url="MovinOn.mp3"></song>

FLV Video Player Tutorial
Hey there!

Can someone post the entire AS for the Video Player Tutorials so that I can check mine! For some reason my 'scrubber' is able to be place anywhere on the stage. I'm sure I've done something wrong....but typing as fast as Lee goes through it is proving to be a little difficult!

Thanks in advance!

Tutorial To Create Mp3 Player Without Xml Playlist
I have browsed the web for a flash mp3 player but all I have found either play just one file per player or use a playlist generated from an xml file.

I can`t use an xml file as the mp3's will be called from a database, does anyone know of an mp3 player that can call the mp3's from a database or know of any tutorials that will help me make something?

btw I am a complete flash newbie

thanks

Looking For A Tutorial For A SIMPLE .xml-driven .mp3 Player (see Example)
Hi all,

I'm looking for a tutorial for a SIMPLE .mp3 player (presumably XML-driven) that will play through a list of songs that can be skipped, and will loop back to the first song upon completion. I was also hoping for a loading bar and for it to read the ID3 tags for the title.

Can anyone help? Attached is an example I knocked up that shows what features I need...

thanks in advance,

Jif Moose

Mp3 Player Tutorial - Major Failure
I've done a bunch of flash, but my actionscript experience is limited. I've coded lots of things in other languages though, so I figured I could handle it with a tutorial... I breezed through it, no problems, and went all the way through tutorial part 2, and then went to test movie. I immediately was shocked because the buttons were systematically changing from Over to Normal state at some time interval. I did all the code exactly like in the tutorial (aside from a few comments) and followed the other instructions as well as I could. I thought perhaps that it was because I didn't have a stop(); at every point in the buttons, but that didn't help either. I also had omitted the "hit" layer, so I went back and did that. No help. Anybody got a clue? I'll upload the FLA if you'd like..

Also, the thing was telling me I had syntax errors with '#include "ifplayer.as" ' (but it was still executing it - I tried just pasting the AS code in there instead too), which was rather puzzling, as the syntax was identical to that in the tutorial. One thing perhaps worth mentioning is that the tutorial used Flash Pro 8 while I'm on CS3. I also used the actionscript 3 thing in "file->new".. could this be the problem? AFAIK though the changes shouldn't affect this. I wanted to finish this project (I'm tying a python CGI set in with this to generate playlists) tonight, but it doesn't look like it'll happen

I was trying to make myself useful, so I started browsing the threads and found the files section. I tried popping the original as file in, and it still does it, which means there's no problem with my code. I'm gonna continue comparing the two.

Ok I've read through both of them, and aside from tiny differences (like i chose to put a partial circle around my buttons on Over instead of recoloring, etc.) they are absolutely identical. The only difference is i chose AS3 instead of AS2, so that must be it. How can I revert my project to AS2? I know you can publish it different, am i forced to that? Maybe I'll just work from the example file since it was at the same point and just change what was different between them...

Controlling Volume (MP3 Player Tutorial)
Hi. I've completed Lee's MP3 player tutorial. I've also loaded the MP3 player clip into my main swf movie with the code:

loader_mc.loadMovie("mp3Player.swf");

The mp3 player now sits at the bottom of my movie and continously plays, ust like I want.

This is where my problem comes up. I have a button called "video", that loads a file called "video.swf" into my main .swf file and a flv video plays. My MP3 player is still sitting at the bottom of my movie (as I want it to), but the sound of the mp3 that is playing plays over the sound from the flv. I want to be able to "mute" the mp3 player when the user clicks the "video" button. How do I access the mp3 player from the main.swf via actionscript?

I know I need to do something like s.setVolume(0); , but I know that code won't work since the video button is not in the mp3player.swf file, but is in the main.swf file.

Thanks for any suggestions. :?:

Video Player & XML Playlist Tutorial Advice
Hi,

I visited this site yesterday and I must start by saying I have learnt a great deal from the clear and concise tutorials for the video and XML Playlist. I used Flash a few years ago and haven't touched it since so thanks for the help with the excellent tutorials.

I am trying to make a multimedia player.

I ahve created the video and playlist using the tutorials and it works great.

But is there a way in which I can add images and sounds to appear within the XML PLaylist so the user can select them.
I was hoping for the image to load (or the sound to play) within the video player?

I don't know if this is possible.

I am thinking that I will have to create a XML Playlist for the Images, and another for the sounds? - But I may be barking up the worng tree??

Can anyone please advise on which is the best way to go about this problem.

Thanks

Lee's Mp3 Player Tutorial With MySQL And PHP Undefined Error
Hi I have followed the tutorial and added a few extras (as found in this very forum) and everything works fine.

However I would like to retrieve the xml document information from MySQL so I created a songs.php page to fetch this info and place it in a while loop.

This is working just fine (I can view the source and see that it is fetching the db entries )
Unfortunately The mp3 player will not work now and it just prints 'undefined'.
I am guessing it's an error with the action script. Can anyone point out where I am going wrong ?

actionscroipt
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.track));
}
playSong();
}

xml.load("songs.php");

// 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].track;
playPause.gotoAndStop("pause");
textPos = 0;
}

//Play the previous MP3 file
function prevSong():Void {
s = new Sound();
s.onSoundComplete = playSong;
if (cps == 0) {
cps = sa.length-1;
s.loadSound(sa[cps].earl, true);
} else {
s.loadSound(sa[--cps].earl, true);
}
trackInfo.text = sa[cps].track;
playPause.gotoAndStop("pause");
}

// 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()

};
prev.onRelease = function() {

s.start();
} else {
this._parent.prevSong();
this._parent.unPauseIt();
playpause.gotoAndStop("pause");
}
};

//Volume
volScrub._xscale = 75;
volPercent.text = volScrub._xscale+"%";

Songs as
Code:

class Song
{
public var earl:String;
public var track:String;

public function Song(e:String, t:String)
{
   earl = e;
   track = t;
}
}

And here is my song.php (but I am pretty sure thats all fine)
Code:

<?php

require ('inc/conn.php');

//connect to DB

$dbcnx = @mysql_connect($hostname,$username,$password);
$dbselect = @mysql_select_db($database);
if ((!$dbcnx) || (!$dbselect)) { echo "Can't connect to database"; }

// next, query for a list of titles, files and links.
$query = "SELECT * FROM PhPlayer";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());

//build the results as an xml array
echo "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
";

echo "<songs>
";

while($row = @mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
?>
<song url="<?php echo $row['file']; ?>" artist="Navigating Crowds" track="<?php echo $row['song']; ?>"/>
<?php
}

echo "</songs>
";

?>

Any Ideas ?[/quote]

Mp3 Player Questions (based On GotoAndLearn Tutorial)
Good-day men,

first of all, compliments for your tutorials.. they are great!

I have some "stupid" questions, if you wanna help me:

- how can I start the player from the position "pause" (so without playing a song when I open the flash) (and so with the button in position "play")

- I would like to add the button "previous track".. what code I need to create into the "mp3player.as"? (I think the button is the same of next but with "negative image" and with different names..)

- for a button like "stop" what I have to do? (a button with a simple action like: stop(); or stopAllSounds(); ?) (I've tried but without success...)

thanks to peolple will help me!

MP3 Player Tutorial Works But I Need To Jump Frames Playing
OK this is what im trying to do. I have a class I made that plays through a mp3 file.
I have made my navigation on the bottom and got that working correctly.

What I need to do is have when the track is playing have it transition through frames, but I need to be able to setup those transitions. I know it is probably a goto, im pretty lost. Does this have to be a different scene? a movie clip? how should i do this.

HOW DO I DO THIS?? I need a tutorial desperately.

I tried doing this though a text scroller. I have the scroller working but its manual, and cheesy it loads text from a .txt file and prints it out to the screen. I want the text to scroll automatically down, depending on what time my audio is set at.

IS THERE AN EASIER WAY TO GO ABOUT THIS????

I can cut my 30 minute class into sections so they change though like 10, 3 minute sections, if that makes it easier.

Even something like adding a code to displays a jpg picture that has my class frame in it, but i really want to keep it as a flash variable so i can use tweens and things on it, something like show text after x amount of seconds, once shown y amount of seconds

Overall, I desperately need to get this working, by no means am I a flash expert but I have done C++ and html and php coding on and off so I have an understanding of oop.

Custom Video Player By GotoAndLearn Tutorial - Problems
Hey guys,

first: sorry for my bad english knowledge, hope you are able to understand me

Okay, i did the Video Basic Tutorials and the XML Playlist, because this was a chance to insert more than one videos. Altouhgh, i customized the skin of the Videoplayer.

When i'm finished, the videoplayer shoud look like this:

Okay, so i took the functions shown in the tutorial. So i've got an XML-Playlist, play/pause button, replay button, mute button.

But as you see in the screenshot there should be some more

First of all i want to stop the "Autoplay-system" and "Autoreplay-System". I want to show the preview-picture and if i klick on "play" i want the TV to start. If one video is finished, there should be the "screenshot" again.

Screenshots -> Because i want to use the player with a lot of movies, i want to write down screenshots next to the videourl (XML Datei), something like this
Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<videos>
<video url="videos/rundengewinner08.flv" desc="Giga Homepage Award Runde 8" thumb="preview.jpg" />
</videos>

Than there are some "Arrowkeys" like this Â», so i want to switch between the screenshots to choose your video. Because i want this as "navigation", i don't need the Playlist next to the player (if i delete the layer i cannot use the player anymore).

Third: I would love the "minutes"-display (shown on the screenshot).

As faar as good... my problem is: I've got no knowledge about Flash/Actionscripts, so please explain "step by step". If there is someone who says "thats easy" i would give him the files (if it is easilier)

You can download the files from the tutorial at this link

I just eddited the Layout, nothing by the code

Thanks,

mr92
