Serious Music Player Help



I've been messing with this for almost six hours now and am at the end of my wits. I need a flash mp3 player that follows the following guidelines:

*all encased within its own movie clip
*loads four different songs, one after the other (event)
*each song displays its own loader
*user scrolls through song selection and plays available (loaded) ones
*first song plays when loaded and continues to the others

any tips on where to go with this? do I create four different sound objects since later songs are loading while the first are playing?

How To Change Buttons On Music Player Depending On Whether Music Is Playing Or Stoppe
When my music is playing, I want my play button to be blackened in. When the music is stopped, I want my stop button to be blackened but my play button to go back to it's original state.

Right now, when my cursor is over the button, it will change the rollover state. That's easy to do.

How can this be accomplished...do i need multiple layers?

Music Player
Can someone direct me to a tutorial to make a music player. i checked the tutortial section and couldnt find anything in their. This is for flashmx thannks

Music Player
Ok, first I know Nothing about flash!
That being said, I hacked a little music player called "gbox"
finally figured out how to change some parameters in it and add
songs etc.
If I click on the the player (gbox.swf) it comes up fine, plays my
songs, lets me change songs etc.
However, when I embed this into a little php file so I can put it
into my website (driven by the e107 CMS) it shows up and looks fine,
but there is no sound!!
Can anyone point me in the right direction to look for a fix to this?
Thanks

Hey, I recently made a lil music player composed of 4 songs, and each song is loaded externally using loadmovienum(); But, each song takes like 20 seconds to load. Is there any way to get load the songs faster?

Music Player
www.real-hiphop.com

Does anyone know or have like a basic knowledge of how to do something like that? I've really been trying to find a decent tutorial on a music player, but I haven't found xactly what I'm looking for. I want to do somthing like on that^^ site, but when it plays a song, it'll tell like the name below the buttons and stuff. Or somthing I've been able to do is like make a bunch of buttons and attach sound clips to them, so when u clicked one it played a song. But i been tryna to do somthin like, make a list box type thing with names of songs, and than u click on the name of a song, n than press a button next to it, and than it'll play whatever song u had selected.

Anyone got som kinda clue on either one of those?

XML Music Player Help...
I used a tutrotial I found in Flash Design Magazine (great mag for flash btw!) to create an audio player that uses XML to play MP3's. When I test it on my computer it works beautifully. However as soon as I try it online it starts acting up. I think it has to do with the fact that this player has no indicator showing if the song has loaded or is loading. The link is Tiempo Libre

When Play is first pressed nothing happens. Even if the song is loaded. Then sometimes when scrolling the play bar will go to the middle and just stop.

If anybody can help with maybe some loading techniques or a solution I would really appreciate it.

Im attaching the FLA...Thanx in advance flashers!

Music Player Help
Hi, firstly. im new to flash and need a little tlc... so please dont bite!
I asked for help about a music player for my site and other various things and so i got some help from here. Unfortunately i got in a mess and ended up asking a friend to send me a file he got from here. I edited it but need a little more help.
Ive provided a link to the file im using and I was wondering if there was any way to start the music automatically when the player loads.... but still have the pause and stop functions... and the looped play. I will be using internal sound files and so i didnt really know what to do. Like i said, im crap with flash. Any help would get recognition and a very big thank you from me!!

for a reference go to www.somethingcorporate.com ....
i am building a player that i want to work similar to this one...
ive made players before but i am wondering how the one on something corporate's page was made....do you think they made each song link go to a frame in a movie clip and play the song from there, or how did they do it?

thanks for any advice on how to make my player better

Music Player
Where can I find out how to make a music player? I want it to be extremely simple, just the play and pause buttons, probably with a track title as well.

Music Player
Ok, I have a small problemo w/ a music player. I have this player sitting pretty on my main stage. I have another clip which loads onto the stage into an empty MC. THe music starts playing right away. Now this other clip that loads onto the stage has some After effects projects you can watch, which have sound. I'm trying to turn off the music in the player, when clicking on a video in the external clip that loads. Here is the code for the Off button on the player, which is currently on the main stage.

on (press) {
playing = false;
paused = false;
stopped = true;
myConditionText = "stopped";
s.stop();
myMusicPosition = 0;
myMusicPositionText = 0;
}

I really would like to have the music fade down when the video button is clicked, but just having the music quit would be fine. I think I just need to assign a path or _global, but not really sure how to go about it. Thanks a bunch.

Hi,

can some please help me create a very simple music player.

i am looking for something like this...

http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Sound...dex.php?chk=no

but the above player is a bit too complicated.

My question is that is there an easier way of creating a music player? maybe with external .swfs? can't i just put each one of my songs in differet .swf files and then in my 'main.swf' have buttons that would load different songs?

I want to have a 'play' 'stop' 'next song' 'pervious song' button.

i am curious about the 'next' and 'pervious' buttons, how would they work?

Thanks.

Music Player
Hi, I've created my first music player but i have a problem. My movie is made so that when you click on buttons to go to different sections, it will go to a different part in the timeline of the same scene. The problem is, when the movie wants to go back to the first section (where the music player is first loaded) it will begin to play the first track on top of the one that is currently on.

I want the music player to just play without hitches, but when i go back to an earlier section in the movie, it will restart the music player, so whatever is playing will still play, but also the first track will play too.

Any ideas of what i could do to prevent this from happening?

I thought there could be a way using actionscript, making it ignore the music player layer if the last frame played was the last frame of the scene.

I'm not sure, any ideas guys?

Hi,
I'm looking for a cool looking music player that I can add a playlist, and also an image of an album cover.
I'm willing to pay...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!

Music Player
Hello, Hope I posted in the right part of the board.
Please excuse for my poor english but I'm French. On top of that, I have very little knowledge of action script.

Here's my problem: I've downloaded a music player on flashkit= "eliott flash 9364"
The author has put a sound file template with instructions for people just to add their mp3 in it. I've tried to follow the instructions but it does not work as the sound loads automaticaly when the fist swf is loaded on a webpage. I 'd rather like the user to play the music by clicking on the play button.

I don't get it. Could anyone help me? I've tried to contact the author of the fla object but He hasn't replied.

His player is really what I was looking for, very simple and classy, I don't need any volume variator, just to load a sound when the user click on play and stop it when the users clicks on stop.

Thanks for your help.

Music Player
I'm making a website for a band. The site is all flash. I need to have a music player inside of flash, so no javascript can be used.

The player needs to show:
-Song time remaining
-Title of Artist
-Title of track
-Progress Bar

I've searched tutorials, but I can't find anything that really helps me. If someone could point me in the right direction I would very much appricate it! Thanks in advance!

Music Player
Ok, so I'm making a music player for a band. So far I have buttons that load external .swfs. These swfs contain an audio track, and a progress bar that loads at the bottom of the player. Each song also has a total loaded indecator. Now I want to show the time remaining. I'm thinking this should be put into the swf that is loaded for each song, but I don't know how to go about that. Any ideas?

How do I put a music player on to a flash movie with own music files?

Music Player
Hi, my actionscript skills are very limited. I have found and edited an mp3 player from flashkit, to fit with a website I am creating! here it is http://www.akirathedon.com/player6.4.html

Now I am very happy with this player, however I would like to chnage two things!

NUMBER ONE : I would like to make the player have the list of mixtapes open as default, rather than the playlist beggining empty!

NUMBER TWO : I would like to make the image change in relation to which track is playing! EG when dreams is playing, you see the dreams sleeve. I'm sure this is possible.

Is anybody willing to help me?

What Would I Need To Do. MUSIC PLAYER
Hi,

I load a music player into a container_mc after. The sound plays but the buttons don't work. What would I need to do to fix it?

Music Player
I want to make a music player that plays multiple songs in Flash. I have the design done, and the menus. I have a couple of problems. I only have one song in it so far because I want to fix the bugs first before I put in more.

1. As soon as you open up the menu with the movie clip with the song in it, the song automatically starts playing. I made a button in the movie clip to make it start playing, and I only want it to start when you click the button.

2. It wants to load all of the songs at the start. How do I make it so I have it only load the song when it plays it?

3. If I have the song play, click back have it play again, they both are playing and it sounds terrible. I want it so when a new song starts, the old one stops.

Could anyone help me fix these problems? Im fairly new to AS. Please be specific when your helping me.

Thanks a ton.

Ok guys, I have nenver had any one able to answer this.

My question is, is flash capable of dealing with .WMA (Version 9) audio files for use with streaming

Im sure you have all seen myspace, it embeds the audio into a flash stream.

I know it can be done with mp3 obviously, but I need it for wma files, no exceptions

I dont have much knowledge of flash as Im strictly javascript, php and mysql

Any feedback would be excellent!
