dynamic music

where on this site or another site can I find a good in dept tutorial or tutorials on control over music and sound IE loading, playing, and so on....I know the basics but im trying to make a player with multiple tracks and songs that are too big to just place in the flash movie so i'll have to load on the fly and a tutorial would really help with that.

You're welcome!

if I export a movie clip for actionscript access does the movieclip still have to load before the main movie is played?

and also in Voetsjoeba's code, why is ref used in place of this? I don't understand what it achieves. Was it done as a personal preference or for referencing reasons?

does anyone see a problem with this?



MusicPlayer.prototype.LoadTrack = function () {
this.Destination = "Sounds/StarWars.mp3";
this.Music.loadSound(this.Destination,FALSE);
loaderMC = createEmptyMovieClip("loader",2);
loaderMC.onEnterFrame = function () {
if (this.Music.getBytesTotal() == this.Music.getBytesLoaded()) {
TextName.text = TrackArray[TrackNum];
this.Music.start();
delete loaderMC;
}else{
var PercentLoaded = Math.round(Music.getBytesTotal / Music.getBytesLoaded
* 100);
}
}
}


actually id guess there is more than one...I just don't see them....I keep entering areas of actionscript I've never worked with before.
