Getting Title Of Song

Scrolling Song Title With MP3 Player
I stumbled upon Lee's awesome Flash MP3 player tutorials as I'm finishing a website for a musician. Unfortunately, the artist wants the titles of the songs to scroll next to the player controls and Lee has yet to post the 3rd installment of his tutorial. Does anyone know where I could possible find instructions on how to do this? Any help is greatly appreciated!

? About Kirupa MP3 Player Song Title Not Showing In OAS
I have implemented the MP3 player to be part of an ad advertising an event with musical entertainment.

http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/examples/MP3playlist.htm

Because all ads on our site must be booked through Open Ad Stream, the xml file across domains sandbox security issue requires that all the files (MP3s, xml, JPGs etc) have to be uploaded to OAS and fully pathed in the actionscript to where they reside OAS. Everything has been uploaded and pathed to OAS.

Because I made the player significantly smaller to fit into adspace I changed the font used from Digital Font Upright whereever I found a chance to do so to improve legibility. Everything is working fine in OAS except there is no song title in the title_txt field once a song is selected which hurts intuitiveness. Because the event is Feb. 24 and this is a donation to charity I OKed the player ad running as is but would really like to solve this as I can.

Here is an example of the player ad running outside of OAS:

Play Immediately Just By Clicking On The Song Title
Hey

Found this mp3 player in a tutorial http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml/examples/MP3playlist.htm and it works fine, but I'm trying to get to play the song when you click the title of the song and not like it is now by first clicking on the title and then clicking on the Play btn.

I've tried replacing stop_btn.onRelease with play_btn.onRelease in the snd.loadSound function, and it does start when you click the title, but when you select another song the scrubber and position does not reset.

Can anybody help?


Code:
formatTime = function (millisecs){
var secs = Math.floor(millisecs/1000);
var mins = Math.floor(secs/60);
secs %= 60;
if (secs < 10) secs = "0"+ secs;
if (mins < 10) mins = "0"+ mins;
return mins +":"+ secs;
}

var snd = this.createEmptyMovieClip("SoundController", 1);

snd.init = function(){
snd._sound = new Sound(this);
this.isPlaying = false;
this.position = 0;
loadingbar_mc._xscale = 0;
progressbar_mc._xscale = 0;
}
snd.loadSound = function(url){
this._sound.loadSound(url, true);
stop_btn.onRelease();
this.updateTime();
//play_btn.onRelease();
}
snd.updateTime = function(){
var time = formatTime(snd.position);
if (time_txt.text != time) time_txt.text = time;
}
snd._sound.onSoundComplete = function(){
stop_btn.onRelease();
}
snd.onEnterFrame = function(){
if (this.isPlaying) this.position = this._sound.position;
this.loaded = this._sound.getBytesLoaded()/this._sound.getBytesTotal();
loadingbar_mc._xscale = scrubber_mc._xscale * this.loaded;
scubber_mc._xscale = progressbar._mc._xscale;
progressbar_mc._xscale = loadingbar_mc._xscale * this.position/this._sound.duration;
this.updateTime();
}

play_btn.onRelease = function(){
if (!isPlaying){
snd._sound.start(snd.position/1000);
snd.isPlaying = true;
}
}
pause_btn.onRelease = function(){
if (!snd.isPlaying) return (0);
snd.position = snd._sound.position;
snd._sound.stop();
snd.isPlaying = false;
}
stop_btn.onRelease = function(){
snd.position = 0;
snd._sound.stop();
snd.isPlaying = false;

}

scrubber_mc.onPress = function(){
if (!snd.loaded) return (0);
var pos = this._xmouse/100;
snd.position = Math.min(snd._sound.duration, pos * snd._sound.duration/snd.loaded);
if (snd.isPlaying) snd._sound.start(snd.position/1000);
}

SetSong = function(node){
snd.node = node;
snd.loadSound(node.attributes.src);
title_txt.text = node.attributes.title;
}

snd.init();

Marquee Scroll Dynamic Text (song Title) From XML File In An MP3 Player
So I made some a nifty a MP3 player that grabs songs from an XML file. It displays the song name in the dynamic text field. Unfortunately, I only have very little display space and many of the track names are long. The solution: marquee scroll the text horizonally. The problem: I never marquee scrolled dynamic text and now I am lost. I am looking for some advice please.

Here is my main AS:

stop();
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.songfile[i] = playlist.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.file;
trace(songname[i]+" "+songfile[i]);
}
}
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("sound_mc", 1);
_root.sound_mc.sound_obj = new Sound();
_global.song_nr = random(songfile.length);
_root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr], songname[song_nr]);
};
MovieClip.prototype.songStarter = function(file, name) {
this.sound_obj.loadSound(file, true);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (this.sound_obj.position>0) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this._parent.display_txt.text = name;
} else {
this._parent.display_txt.text = "loading...";
}
};
this.sound_obj.onSoundComplete = function() {
(song_nr == songfile.length-1) ? _global.song_nr=0 : _global.song_nr++;
_root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr], songname[song_nr]);
};
};
btn_play.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr], songname[song_nr]);
};
btn_stop.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.sound_mc.sound_obj.stop();
};
btn_fw.onRelease = function() {
(song_nr == songfile.length-1) ? _global.song_nr=0 : _global.song_nr++;
_root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr], songname[song_nr]);
};
btn_rev.onRelease = function() {
(song_nr == 0) ? _global.song_nr=songfile.length-1 : _global.song_nr--;
_root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr], songname[song_nr]);
};
playlist.load("playlist.xml");


So yeah, this works fantastic. Now how do I marquee?


I tried dropping the following code in directly after this line... this._parent.display_txt.text = name; :

l = 25;
x = 0;
stringOf = function (c, l) {
var temp = "";
for (var x = 0; x<l; x++) {
temp += c;
}
return temp;
};
name = stringOf(" ", l)+name;
display = function () {
var temp = name.slice(x, l);
display_txt.text = temp;
x++;
l++;
if (x == name.length) {
x = 0;
l = 25;
}
};
setInterval(display, 200);
stop();

And while this did make the text scroll on the first song, it doesn't work so hot on the second song. It blips back-and-forth between the first and second song name. Advance to a third song and you've got an even bigger blipping mess. I kind of think that this code above isn't the way to go... that it isn't even worth reworking... that I should try something completely new. Anyone have any thoughts?

Getting To Next Song After Song Ends (flash 8)
hi!
Im using flash 8.

Is there any way i can get my script to go to next keyframe when the song on the current keyframe ends? (the song is locatet inside 1 mc, so i guess that the nextframe code is going to be with some kinda "_root" in front?)

Thanks, Andy

Playing A Song
Hello,

What I'm trying to do: have a full length song play on my website.

I know how to import the mp3 file and insert it on the stage, my questions are,

How can I add a stop and play button for it? This is done with action script? I know a little bit about action script, so adding this play/stop button, is it easy to figure out?

Also is there a better sound file I should use to import a song into flash? Are MP3 ideal? or is there another type of file I should use to make it load faster?

Any suggestions that would help are appreciated.

Thanks,
C

Song Through Out Movie
Hey, to anyone who reads this and helps me out.
So I have a movie (with various scenes) and I have to make this song play out through the whole movie... how would I do that? make another scene and call it out throught the other scenes? Thanks,

Odd - Loop Song
I have a song looped within a movieclip (MC_1) that is enabled by an actionscript:

LoopSong = new Sound();
LoopSong.attachSound("Twilight Piano");
LoopSong.start(0, 99999); //0 offset with 99999 loops

When tested it works fine, also when I export the file as a MC_1.swf and double click it, everything works.

The odd thing is when I run the index file (Main.swf) that has a button link to call MC_1.swf, the movie plays but the loop song will not start. I can't figure out why.. I made sure all variables were unique, anyone have any idea?

thanks

Play A Song Again
I'm creating sound in the background of something and I want it to be controllable. I can stop the sound with the stop button, but I can't get it to play again with the play button. I gave the sound an instance name to try using the script

on (release) {
clarity.start()
}


that doesn't work though. What can I do to play the sound? The sound is in one of my layers. thanks

Song Titles
Hey,

I have a simple music player that plays external .mp3 files.

I am trying to display the songs names for each song. I have 5 different songs, I want to make it so when the user clicks the "next song" button, I want the name of the 2nd song to appear, and if the user clicks the "next song" button again, I would like the title for the 3rd song to appear and so on.

I am not really sure on how to accomplish this. Maybe with variable names?

Thanks,
Baljinder

Song Not In Sync
This is getting frustrating

I have Flash CS3 (I don't know if that's similar to 9), and I'm currently trying to make an animation, which is supposed to be in sync with the song I put in. What I do is put the song on a layer and then do my animation, and then preview it right on the program; and it's fine this way. However, when I Test Movie (CTRL+Enter) and watch it on there, the song goes too fast and the animation can't keep up. What is wrong here?

My export settings for the audio stream and event are: MP3, 160 kbps, Best

I'd really appreciate any input. Thanks.

Help With Mp3 Player, Go To The Next Song
Hey gang.

I have this little radio I've made for a singers' site. It auto starts when the page is loaded, but just the first song. The artist wants the radio to go through the entire array of songs like a CD when the user is at the site. However, the radio also has a comboBox, so that users can select what song they want to hear and play it. That part all works fine EXCEPT making the autoplay part go to the next song after the first ends. This is the very simple AS I put on the movie to make the first song play when the movie loads. So how do I get it to go to the next item in the comboBox and then the next and then the next?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
.pete.


Code:
stopAllSounds();
var song = new Sound();
song.loadSound(cbSongselect.selectedItem.data, true);
nowplaying.text = cbSongselect.selectedItem.label;
song.onSoundComplete = function() {
stopAllSounds();
nowplaying.text = defaulttext;
}

Animating A Mp3 Song
Hello,
I'd like to use flash to animate a 3 minute mp3.
After importing it successfully I cannot drag it onto a frame without the program locking up.
Is there a file size limitation to what you can place in flash?

I'd also like to synchronize the animation to specific parts of the song.
