I have an mp3 player movie that loads into my main movie. The mp3’s played fine in the stand alone movie, so I changed all the variable references to \_this. when I wanted it to play inside the main movie. The first song plays fine, but the rest do not load at all. If anyone could tell me what I’m missing I would really appreciate it.

Thanks guys.

The keyword is **this** , not **\_this**.  
You’re also creating a MovieClip in \_root in one of the functions in the frame actions, remove \_root from the code.

Thanks, kode, I should have known that was a problem when it wasn’t blue highlighted. Now there seems to be another problem, the forward/back buttons change the song playing, and they work until the song changes to “From Heaven,” then all it does is reload that song over and over. Heres the code:  
[AS]on(press){  
if(this.currentSong == “Sleep”){  
this.currentSong = “Daze Gone Bye”;  
}  
else if(this.currentSong == “Daze Gone Bye”){  
this.currentSong = “From Heaven”;  
}  
else if(this.currentSong == “From Heaven”){  
this.currentSong == “Sleep”;  
}  
else{  
this.currentSong == “Sleep”;  
}

```
loadFile(this.currentSong);

```

}  
[/AS]

Any ideas? The file is in the .zip in the first post.

Pressing the button will select one of the 3 songs in the array in sequence.  
[AS]var music\_array = [“Sleep”, “Daze Gone Bye”, “From Heaven”], currentSong = 0;  
function loadFile(song) {  
trace(music\_array[song]);//i dont know what your function does  
}  
my\_button.onPress = function() {  
currentSong == music\_array.length-1 ? currentSong=0 : currentSong++;  
loadFile(currentSong);  
};  
loadFile(currentSong);[/AS]

You should define an Array object containing the names of your songs.

See this thread for an example: [http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27950](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27950).
