[Voetsjoeba]

The source file of the streaming version of my XML MP3 Player is now available :)

[Ubik]

Woaohouh, man, you'll make happy people with this ! :beer:

[pixeldog]

r0xorz. You kick ***!

[macneilslt]

way cool voets :) great job.

[prstudio]

Awesome work man. :)

[G]

you should make a tute on that voetsjoeba. I'm definatley gonna check out the file.

Thanks

[Voetsjoeba]

Thanks guys :)

MrG - I wouldn't know how to turn this into a tutorial (would be a huge tutorial), but if enough people show interest I might do that :)

[G]

voetsjoeba you sound like a very intelligent person, I'm sure you could make a tute on it, but as you said theres no point wasting hours writing a tute for one person. I hope some more people show some interset in a tute done by your very self!

[imanstudios]

Very smooth. Nice player bro.

[mjULTRA]

Super Pimp! :p:

This is exactly what i need, but the only problem is, when i try to open the *.fla, i get an unexpected file format error... Do you perhaps have the source for Flash MX?

[Ubik]

:thumb: i'll definitely be interested in a tut !

[Voetsjoeba]

Super Pimp! :p:

This is exactly what i need, but the only problem is, when i try to open the *.fla, i get an unexpected file format error... Do you perhaps have the source for Flash MX?
Yup, that's a FMX 04 version. The MX version can be downloaded here:

[talkshowhost]

Thank you kind sir.
I'd love a tute too. :thumb:

[mjULTRA]

Well, i tried, but i recieved this message when i clicked on 'Dowloaden'


Eerst aanmelden via een van de secties aub

Perhaps you can translate this, and help me figure out what it would take to Download the Source for Flash MX.. I appreciate it, a lot!!

( meld je eerst aan om te kunnen downloaden! )

[Voetsjoeba]

Oh lol, I forgot you have to be logged in to that site ... I'll just upload it :)
http://www.voetsjoeba.com/lab/source/mp3streamMX.zip

[lunatic]

Where's the poll to see how many people would like to see a tute? Sign me up!! :book:


:hugegrin: <-- diggin' the new smilies!

[Voetsjoeba]

Ooh, new smilies ? Cool, didn't know =)

Looks like I'm going to have to write a tut after all ;)

[lunatic]

HOORAY!! :party: :nurse: <-- what the heck is that? it's SCARY!! lol :P

[Voetsjoeba]

Looks like a kissing-happy nurse :P

[nyk]

You rock!
Noob question: sometimes the songs pla really slow.is this because of my connection or is it sth else?

nyk

[Voetsjoeba]

Could very well be your connection. The player is streaming, so if your connection isn't fast enough to insure a constant stream of data that can keep up with the playhead, that might happen. What song is it you are talking about ? The example song from the player ?

[nyk]

yes

[mjULTRA]

Thanks VoetsJoeba!! You rock the casbah!!

[SickPuppy]

i love this player, but i tried to resize it to 250w x 100h but then it didn't work properly anymore.
does anybody know how to fix this ? :)

[SickPuppy]

ow it doesn't seem to work on-line at all :(

[Voetsjoeba]

That's weird, I'm sure it works, I have it online on my site and it works fine. Are you sure you copied the playlist along ?

[hga77]

As always, cool work voetsjoeba :thumb: like the website too...

I'm currently working on a music website...just finished the streaming player section. First time i use audio with flash. And now i see you've added streaming to your already great player!

link (http://members.lycos.co.uk/jhgjhgjhg/) (click the 'Artist Profile' section)

Check it out. What do you think?

[Voetsjoeba]

I think there's a little bit too much unused space :P
Nice job modifying it :)

[hga77]

yeah i know...i'm just getting everything to work first then i'll play around with the layout...I hate designing layouts i'm so crap at it :hangover:

=)

[hga77]

modifying it? :h:

[Voetsjoeba]

Yeah ... the player ... you modified it, didn't you ? Or is that your own ?

[hga77]

no no no ... its all my own work...i'll upload if you wanna see :)

[Voetsjoeba]

Oh lol, I thought you wanted my opinion on a mod of the player :D
Well, very nice player you created :)

[hga77]

thanks :)

I noticed you also added the duration for each song in the xml. Thats what i did too to get the playhead working...At least now i feel better cos if you did it like that, then it must be the best way ;)

[SickPuppy]

That's weird, I'm sure it works, I have it online on my site and it works fine. Are you sure you copied the playlist along ?
i started all over and tried getting it to work, but again it failed.
it works fine local, but on the webserver it doesn't :hair:

i think it has something to do with the path to the XML file in the Flash file.
is that possible ?
i tried:
onlineplaylist_stream.xml
/onlineplaylist_stream.xml
http://www.myserver/com/onlineplaylist_stream.xml
but it all doesn't seem to work.
could it be that providers block this sort of usage ?
i tried 2 hosting providers.
heeeeelp :lol:

[Voetsjoeba]

Hmn, not sure what the issue could be. I don't see a reason why providers would block XML files as they are completely harmless ... It pretty much has to be the path to the XML file.

[riderchic88]

first of all... the xml player is choice and i'll definitely be using it for my new site :) so thank you very much for making it.

and totally random but... i'm COMPLETELY in love with your fireworks creation! that's way cute!

[Voetsjoeba]

Thanks :)

[SteadyScene]

Do we have a streaming version yet?

[lunatic]

:h: Did you read the first post in this thread? :)

[Voetsjoeba]

:P

[SteadyScene]

Interesting.. I never subscribed to this thread, I thought it was the original mp3 thread Voets started..

Did not realize there was a shiny new thread announcing the streaming version..

horray.

[SickPuppy]

at last it works ! :) **** cheap servers !
but how do i make it smaller ? :cons:
like 250w x 100h ?

and where is the PHP version ? :love:

[pixeldog]

but how do i make it smaller ? :cons:
like 250w x 100h ?

You should simply be able to edit the h&w of you Flash movie, and then move the elements around to fit in your new space.

[SickPuppy]

hmm, let me try it all over agian :)
this heat is giving me inspiration in a strange way:red:

where is the PHP version btw ?

[lunatic]

I don't think Voets has written a PHP version. :)

[SickPuppy]

hmm, there was a PHP version of the first player, where can I find that one then ?:nerd:

[lunatic]

Use the Advanced Search feature - type in mp3 for subject and Voetsjoeba for username and you'll find it. ;)

[SickPuppy]

aaah, sorry to fill your the forums with my questions but i realyl couldn't find it :)
thanks a million !(-:

[lunatic]

:sigh: http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/search.php?searchid=47514


;)

[SickPuppy]

ow euhm, yes i found it. i typed my message unclear.
i did found it :) and i also wanted to apologize. so euhm sorry again:beam:

[lunatic]

no worries :thumb:

[riderchic88]

i'm using the player ;) http://aisling.how-insensitive.net , click on the cloud :)

EDIT: nevermind, it's back :beam:

[SickPuppy]

oh, i understand why there is no PHP version now !
it's nearly impossible to calculate the duration of a MP3 file if it uses VBR.
and that's what i use offcourse :party:

i was also wondering....

isn't there a difference between the sizes on a Linux server and a Windows workstation ?
if there is, do i need to enter the filesize in bytes as it is on the server or as it is on the client pc ?

[Voetsjoeba]

You need to give in the absolute filesize in bytes. Windows makes a difference between size and size on disk (don't know about Linux) - it's size on disk you should use, so also the absolute bytesize on the server.

[SickPuppy]

I hope you don't get bothered by me going on and on about this, but I find it very interesting material :)
Check out the screenshot:
Windows XP (FAT32) on the left and Linux (ext2?) on the right,
Windows XP info in the center below:
http://www.interactivemovies.org/confused.gif

[Voetsjoeba]

Well what can I say ... there's not much I can do about that lol :D
I used the Size on Disk from Window (229.376).

[SickPuppy]

I hear some glitches in the sounds sometimes...
Is that normal ? :crazy:
That's why I'm asking so much about the bytesizes !
I'm trying to get the glitches out :pleased:

http://www.interactivemovies.org/mp3/neverhood/mp3.php

Go hear for yourself :mu:
The MP3's don't have it, only when streamed.

[Voetsjoeba]

I didn't hear any glitches ...

[dude9er]

is there a way of making a horizontal volume slider. I adjusted all the heights to widths and x/y and y/x variables, it works, but acts funny. The volume bar is not based from the left to right, it starts in the midle and expands length wise from the center, so that the volume slider (arrow) is way left of the volume bar. ANy thoughts on how to position it porperly?

Thanks everyone.

[Voetsjoeba]

http://users.pandora.be/voetsjoeba/mp3/stream/stream_xml_hor.fla

[dude9er]

says it's an unexpected file format... I have MX, maybe that's it. Any thoughts?

Thanks VEO

[Voetsjoeba]

Yeah it's an MX 04 file. I have experienced that MX 04 screws up in converting this file to the MX format, so I can't guarantee the MX version will work as good as the 04 version, but nothing stops you from trying :)

http://users.pandora.be/voetsjoeba/mp3/stream/stream_xml_horMX.fla

[amy]

Hey V,
I was so happy to see that you put together a streaming player that I cried.

I'm not able to open this in MX though - and it looks like I'm not alone. Now I'm crying again - just not tears of joy.

Is there something I'm missing or will it just not convert?

What if you posted the actionscript and left us to build our own FLA? - or am I dreaming.

Thanks for sharing your hard work with us
amy

[Voetsjoeba]

I would love to give you guys an MX version, but MX 2004 screws up in converting to MX. I am working on a tutorial on how to build this player though, and also an explanation of the control class.

Meanwhile, maybe you could download the MX 04 trial from MM and try to convert it. Maybe it'll work for you. It sure didn't for me.

[piku]

thanks voets--can't wait for the tutorial =p

[amy]

Thanks V,
I'll give it a shot - but if it didn't work for you - I have little hope for me!
I'll just have to sit tight and wait for your tut.
a

[plantain_tart]

This is an amazing flash app, thanks Voets!

I'm wondering if it would be possible to get it to work with a pull down list. Anyone try that?

[Rendering_Rebel]

Very nice!
Works perfectly!
Keep it coming! 8)

[SickPuppy]

Euuuuuuhm. Another thingy ! C:-)

My girlfriend :love:tried to access the streaming mp3 player/flash file, but her dad :p:seems to have JukeBox installed.

(I guess it's MusicMatch JukeBox :whistle: )

But this program catches clicks from Internet Explorer !

So when the Flash movie wants to download the MP3 files, JukeBox takes over and starts downloading the file. :jail:

I renamed the files from *.mp3 to *.dat and updated the .XML file.
That worked :nerd:.

[pixeldog]

Thought I'd mention....the horizontal version is set up to read onlineplaylist.xml, however the original streaming version reads onlineplaylist_stream.xml. Make sure you change the .xml filename before you preview the player or you will get lots of output errors!

[Voetsjoeba]

Correct, but it's on another server. On this server, the playlist is called onlineplaylist.xml, not onlineplaylist_stream.xml :) Besides, the only reason it's up is for users see what code to change and how to modify the file.

[Krilnon]

What makes something that streams through XML so good?

[Voetsjoeba]

The XML doesn't have anything to do with the songs themselves, it's just a convenient way of storing a playlist :)

[Gupps]

Love what you have done for the flashers out there. Is there a way that I can alter the code so that the music doesn't start right away. (giving it time to load the song say 15 to 25 sec. in) either that or have the person press play to start the streaming when the streaming has already started

[Voetsjoeba]

Yeah, sure, add this line to the constructor:



this.player.stopButton.onRelease();


So that it looks like:



//...
this.showSongInfo();
this.indicateStatus(1);
this.indicateProgress();
this.player.stopButton.onRelease();

[Gupps]

thanks alot. ill give it a go.

[strivedi]

Not sure if its something that I am doing wrong or what. I have two .swf's one for high bandwidth the other for low. The AS points to a high.xml and low.xml. I have the original CD, I rip one at 80 kbits(high) and 24kbit or 40kbits(low). The low songs sound distorted, high pitched ect, and playing faster than they should.

I modified the xml files to relate to the different sizes and location of the file. Other than that the xml files are identical.

Could it be due to the filenames being identical and something about the cache?

Any guesses?

[zerosignal0]

GREAT WORK!
I am trying to modify the file to fit in a smaller space and I noticed earlier in this post someone asked how to resize and were told to change the documents size. Well my problem is I actually need to make all the buttons and sliders small to fit into a REALLY confined space. So I made all the buttons and the scrollers smalled but it seems like when I test everything is out of whack and the progress bars are the same size they were originally. Im a novice to action scripting but I tried to see if I could find some kind of X Y settings for the height and size of these things but came up with no luck. Could someone give me a clue where to look in the scripting to find size settings ?

thanks

[Voetsjoeba]

Check out the list right above the XML code on the bottom of the AS code. The important sizes and numbers that can't be retrieved dynamically are set there :)

[paddy.]

Hmm. Okay Voets figure this one. The non-streaming version of the player works perfectly (thanks to your help) and the songs load entirely in about 1 minute on DSL. However, when I use the streaming version to load the same songs the songs take about an hour to load completely. What's up with that?

[Voetsjoeba]

No idea, that never happened before ... wouldn't know, sorry :(

[paddy.]

Oh well. I guess I'l just have to go with the non-streaming version then. Thanks again for your help on getting that one to work.

[Voetsjoeba]

Does this happen with all mp3s ?

[mattqian]

thanks.

[strivedi]

Does this happen with all mp3s ?

I hope you were refering to me about that. Yes it does.

You can listen to it to get a better idea of what I mean. If you click the link below, go to the Audio menu item, select high speed and you will hear the proper sound. You will have to hit "Play". Also, its in Gujarati, a Indian dilect so it won't make a lick of sense. Then if you go to the Audio menu item and select "Modem", click play (I have a 10 sec _buffer time so it might be delayed a bit. The songs are same (You can tell by the title) but the pitch etc. is all wrong.

http://jsga.reliantsystems.net

Please let me know if I can provide additional info.

Thanks a bunch!

[Rockstar]

Hi Voet

I have a problem opening it in IE and Opera, but FireFox works flawlessly.
IE doesn't even play the song, it loads but it doesn't show the progress.
Opera plays the song, but the loading doesnt show the progress.

Any idea?

I have a strong feeling that that is because you don't get rid of the high speed player when you click on modem. While modem was loading I could still hear highspeed playing in the background.

Replied to you through email ;)

[Rockstar]

Voetsjoeba,

Thanks for your email man :)
Yea I checked that out, but the problem remains the same. I also have a similar problem with a non-streaming one.
Surprisingly it works just fine in my brother's computer [all: IE, Opera and Firefox], but strange thing is that: it doesn't work not only in my laptop, but also my desktop PC.

I'm kinda curious if this has anything to do with firewall and stuff? [i'm a noob in thise area] because I have downloaded the latest flash player, updated my IE, still the rpoblem remains. The 2 computers in my room have the same problem. thats strange.

oh I also have a problem that the slider doesn't work.
here's the link: http://www.ivankandi.com/enterivan/m.html

Thanks Voetsjoeba

[Voetsjoeba]

It sure works fine here, in IE, Mozilla and FireFox. Yeah, maybe it's your firewall ? Try shutting it down and see if it works then.

Thanks for that link by the way, the music totally relaxes me :)

[TilT]

when i try to play the songs, it shows the title but wont play the music. i have the volume cranked and it still doesnt work. hellllpppp

[Voetsjoeba]

Are you sure your paths to the mp3s are correct in the playlist ?

[TilT]

do i need to upload all the music to my server befor choosing the paths? im a little unsure about how to use this thing:puzzle:

[Voetsjoeba]

If you choose local paths, then it'll only work locally. It's best to upload them and link to them online.

[TilT]

now it says undefined - undefined.. bah

[TilT]

HGA77, could u possible post a link to where we can download your player? i wanna test it out, if thats possible, or just private message me, with the link if u dont want EVERYONE to get it:) thanks a bunch:hugegrin:

[hga77]

Tilt, the player I have on that link has been hard coded within the site. I dont have the player as a seperate fla. Sorry

[lampe]

Voetsjoeba

YOU RULE !

http://www.semtexinc.com/forum/images/smiles/r_dancenew.gif

I've been looking for this a long time. Indeed, a tut would be cool. An a explanation of the code would be very interesting.

Thanks!

[Casenote]

As usual this code, and mp3 player are great!

I do have a question (as usual). I want to resize your buttons...but when I do that the rollover makes them very large (the orginal size of the buttons, plus the rollover size).

What part of the code do I alter to change the button/loading bars size and rollover sizes?

Case

[Voetsjoeba]

In MovieClip.prototype.grow, it says t = 150. Alter the 150 to the desired scale.

[Casenote]

Thanks for the quick reply :s:

and thanks as usual

Case
:afro:

[Voetsjoeba]

Anytime.

[Casenote]

Ok, I've done a little searching, and am trying to use a dropdown menu or combobox of the mp3 songs... I saw initially that you posted this on the original Voet's XML MP3 Player (v1)


Yes it is, all I'd have to add is a dropdown list of the songs. Not that hard, since I've already got an array with every data in it. Just a for loop that places it in the dropdown menu, no big deal.

After reading this I still don't understand. I was wondering if you have the code handy (wink, wink) ;) ;)

Thanks,

Case

[Casenote]

Was still wondering about the ComboBox population....I fiddled with it but XML boggles my mind...

:king:

Hope someone can lend a hand

-Casey

[Voetsjoeba]

Hey Casenote, check out the third version of this player. I wrote an extension for that one so that you can use a combobox.
http://www.voetsjoeba.com/lab.php?i=16

[invisibleloop]

First of all great mp3 player!

Before I go ahead and modify it for my site I have just tested yours out on my server. I uploaded the player and the xml file. The player can be seen with the song titles but no mp3's load up and play! What am I doing wrong?!


Thanks

[Voetsjoeba]

Are you sure the links to the MP3 Player are correct and available ?

[invisibleloop]

I am using the links that are in your xml file. I shall test it with my own links!

[Voetsjoeba]

Ah, yes, that might be the problem - I've recently switched servers, so things might have gotten a lil' messed up.

[invisibleloop]

Ah, yes, that might be the problem - I've recently switched servers, so things might have gotten a lil' messed up.
That sorted it! Many thanks! I love this mp3 player! it is what I have been looking for, for a very long time! I know a tutorial would be a pain to write but I (we) would love it!

Thanks:rabbit:

[Voetsjoeba]

I wouldn't know how to make a tutorial out of it ... it wouldn't really be a tutorial, rather an explanation of the code I guess.

[MrMass]

kicks *** man!

[sleepyball]

your player is so cool man, amazing piece of coding! :thumb:

[Voetsjoeba]

Thanks :)

[StrivingForThis]

when I go to your link to get the mx file...it is a server error
I just have Flash MX

I would love a tutorial...I am just starting out with flash and would need step by step...just to get this to work for me haha I dont even know what to do with the xml code...where does this go in flash?

[Voetsjoeba]

I'll look into that link. Setting it up is easy really. Just create your playlist XML file (follow the example), and set the link in the code (down at the bottom).

[StrivingForThis]

thanks! Ill give it a go....

[Angel_Ice]

Many thanks for your player bro!

[hondo311]

I'm using the streaming player, but it would be cool to control the volume with a knob instead of the slider.

What's thee easiest way to work this into the actionscript? I'm still a newbie when it comes to the advanced stuff. I searched and found a fla file with a knob, but integrating it into V's player is where I'm a bit lost . . .

Any help/suggestions would be cool.

Thanks . . peace,

Hondo311

[Elemental Child]

This is most generous Voet! A great piece of work.

I got the v2 working and then discovered you had a streaming version... but I couldn't find an MX FLA download.... all the links were dead.

Anybody have the FLA for the streaming player?

Thanks,

[Dasmonstrum]

Hi There!

please i used the player, a very good job!

It is just happen a little thing, when it play a entire music, it doesn't start automatic the next song.... some tip?!?!

Thanks, happy 2006 fo all!

[crobar]

i made this a while ago...
http://www.staticair.com/mp3.html
tho im not sure if it "streams"
my design is weak and the scripting is old i was just getting ready to rework the AS for flash 8 when i saw your player and it inspired me to reopen my own project!
great work!
:thumb:

[suspire]

I've got the ComboBox mod working, thanks Voet.
http://brashmusic.com/test/mp3_ComboBox.zip


Anbody know how to stop the music from playing on startup?
I only want it to play if somebody uses the combobox or hits the play button.
I've tried

vPlayerInstance.stop() in a few places to no avail.

[kingofnukes]

Hi. I made a personal desktop for myself that uses the player and i was thinking of putting it as a download on my upcomming site. Just running it by you before I do. I will give you full credit for it and i'm not makeing anymoney off it. Evnen though its already open-source I jus didnt want u think im slappin' my name on it or anythin. If you wanna see it, jus PM me. Nothin too special, jus' somethin with a lil more functionality that a noraml desktop and something to fit my style.:pa:

Jus noticed the combo box one, need to test that one out now:thumb:

[Alter Ego]

Aren't there just some nice people in the world??? Good karma to you!!!! THis is brilliant!!!

[juandgar]

I'm trying to find an MX version of this player; I tried http://www.flashfocus.nl/ShowDetail.asp?NewsId=7360 but the link is broken. Is there still an MX version out there somewhere?

[hondo311]

try this:

http://www.voetsjoeba.com/lab.php?i=8

i got my streaming player from voetjoeba's site . . . if the link doesn't work, look at otherplaces on his site . . .

see a version of the player that i re-skinned at: www.farfromclose.com

[juandgar]

I like what you did with the player. That link is helpful, but all I can find is MX 2004 versions... I need an MX version. Has anyone formatted this player to work with MX?

[hondo311]

try this . . .
i think this is the player before i tweaked it . . .
yu'll have to rename "onlineplaylist.txt" to "onlineplaylist.xml" for it to work (ca't upload XML files here)
you'll need to open the XML file in notepad or whatever and change the song titles and pathnames to match your songs on your server . . .

peace,

hondo311

[juandgar]

Excellent! Plenty thanks for your help, it works great!

[juandgar]

Alright, I have the player working. I uploaded the SWF and XML file to my hosting service. When I click on the swf file, it works fine, but check this out http://www.myspace.com/coldcereal ...it doesn't play anything...why isn't it working from here? Does it have to do with the way I embedded the swf file? any suggestions?

juandgar,
not sure . . . but it looks like it could be a path thing. check your XML file to make sure your mp3 paths are correct. did you upload the songs to a server? because for the XML to work, it needs to reference the mp3 files from a server and not just the files on your local computer . . .

just a thought because that hapened to me and ifelt really dumb when i realized that's all it was . . .

hey, on another note, i'll add you as a "friend" on myspace . . . you can check out my tunes!

peace,

hondo311

[juandgar]

Yeah, I kept double checking that. The weird thing is, if you go to http://www.files.bz/files/2622/test/mp3player.swf it works perfectly, and that's the same path that I have set up on http://www.myspace.com/coldcereal but I get nothing there. Do you think maybe it's a myspace thing?

p.s. nice tunes

hmm . . . weird . . . it could be a myspace thing -- seems like they have weird rules. this one has me stumped. iffff you don't mind using a different player, you can always paste

in your myspace/music category. but you don't get the song artist or title that way.

you could cheese out and put this right below the other code:

<b><font size="3"color="bluegray"> song of the week is blah blah by blah blah</font></b>

obviously change colors etc.

let me know if you figure it out!

How come version 3 mx 04 doesn't have a volume bar? Or am i missing it somewhere? Also has anyone edited it so users can click to download the songs as a feature? Thanks again!

Thanks for making a great mp3 streamer. I have been trying to make the volume bar horizontal instead of vertical. I am using flash 8, I'v been trying changing all the x with the y's but as I don'y understand all the actionscript it is a bit hard to know. could anyone post the fla. with horizontal volume slider. It would mean a great deal of help.

Thank you

Very nice player. I've tried integrating it into a site I'm making (offline@ the moment) and it doesn't seem to function correctly if loaded in as an external swf file. It says, "loading playlist, standby" and does nothing else while the rest of the website functions fine underneath.

So am I right in assuming that it only works as a popup window? Like HONDO311's reskin adaptation - www.farfromclose.com (http://www.farfromclose.com/) ??

[simplistik]

No you're not right in assuming that... you need to check your file paths. Most likely you're referencing root where it shouldn't be reference

[sourmilkman]

OK - checked all of the refs and sorted it out now! Hurrah! The problem was that I had created an MP3 folder and placed the xml file in there, while the 'master' swf (loading all of the other pages) was looking for it in the same folder as itself. After I moved the xml file it worked.

Thanks simplistik.

Here is my MP3 player attempt for you to comment on based on this code.
Unfortuneatly, I have to put a copyright on the artwork of it so I can't upload the fla file. Sorry. Please don't use it on your websites.

It took me one day to complete. Using Photoshop and Flash Pro 8.

Again, I'm sorry for the protection images. I've gotta protect my company and ***!

This link is dead. Is there anyone out there with the horizontal volume slider that slides from left to right? Can you post it or post the actionscript for it.

Nice player V.

Thanks

Thank You simplistik, I took a look at he site and could not find a player with horizontal volume sliding abilities. The V3. player does not even have volume controls. Voetsjoeba says he will add it to the V4. player.

I guess I have to look around for a different player or try to make a volume slider for V3.

HELP I'm on a deadline. I'm having to dig up an old player I customized based on this player. They new player will feature three songs, the old player had only two, so I could figure out how to do the following:

TWO SONGS:
Song No. 1 was the PLAY button marked as BUTTON 1
Song No. 2 was the FORWARD button marked as BUTTON 2

Now I need to implement a third song:

I have three buttons, 1,2 and 3, when clicked:

button 1 plays song1
button 2 plays song2
button 3 plays song3

The user obviously has the ablility to select any song they want at any point. How do I target each song with individual buttons.

Please help! Any suggestions would be awesome and much apprciated!!
