here is a tut i put together for someone else that wanted the xml mp3 player… by the way… the component is free!!!
you can get the component at: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm
– click flash exchange
– open the categories drop down list - select audio & video
– download the audio set component
– double click the downloaded file to install it…
– it will be available in your components panel
ok, i’m no xml expert, but this worked for me, so i’m just giving you the steps as i went about with it… like i said… mine worked like a bomb! :player:
===========================================
the xml version you also have volume control and it will show the precentage loaded. if you are going to have full tracks i might suggest that you stream it instead. at least people can listen while it downloads… else you should just warn people that they might have to wait a while for each track to load…
here we go:
1 put all the mp3’s you wanna use in one directory
2 using notepad/dreamweaver create the xml page… my example:
< ? x m l v e r s i o n = " 1 . 0 " e n c o d i n g = " U T F - 8 " ? >
< a u d i o F i l e s >
< A u d i o P r o p s p a t h = " a l i f e . m p 3 " s o n g T i t l e = " m a d o n n a - a m e r i c a n l i f e " / >
< A u d i o P r o p s p a t h = " b g i r l . m p 3 " s o n g T i t l e = " m a d o n n a - b a d g i r l l i v e " / >
< A u d i o P r o p s p a t h = " b b b a b y . m p 3 " s o n g T i t l e = " m a d o n n a - b y e b y e b a b y ( h o u s e m i x ) " / >
< A u d i o P r o p s p a t h = " D Y K n o w . m p 3 " s o n g T i t l e = " m a d o n n a - D o n ’ t Y o u K n o w " / >
< A u d i o P r o p s p a t h = " f e v e r . m p 3 " s o n g T i t l e = " m a d o n n a - f e v e r v i d e o v e r s i o n " / >
< A u d i o P r o p s p a t h = " G G G o n e . m p 3 " s o n g T i t l e = " M a d o n n a - G o n e G o n e G o n e ( d e m o ’ 9 7 ) " / >
< A u d i o P r o p s p a t h = " l e t d y g u a r d . m p 3 " s o n g T i t l e = " m a d o n n a - l e t d o w n y o u r g u a r d ( r o u g h m i x e d i t ) " / >
< / a u d i o F i l e s >
this is all you need in the document. its not an html page so you don’t need any other html tags. all you have to change is the AudioProps path (where the file is and the file name… we are going to save the xml page in the same directory as the mp3’s so there should not be any problems… check to see if your files have upper or lower case names… what i did was copy the name of the original file and then just paste it in the xml… at least i know i can’t make a mistake with spelling). the other thing you have to change is the songTitle (this is what the person will see when they open your mp3 player…)
3 save the xml page in the same directory as the mp3’s… call it “audiopath.xml”
4 now go to flash
5 components - audio set - xmlMp3playerSC (double click)
6 select the component on the stage
7 change any settings in the properties - parameters that you want to change…
stream (true or false)
status (what people will see when nothing is playing)
playlist (the name of your xml page)
8 save the fla in the same directory as the mp3’s and the audiopath.xml file
9 ctrl enter (to test your movie & to publish the swf file)
10 file - publish settings - select html and flash, and press the publish button… this will create a html page with the swf file on…
11 if you use dreamweaver you might want to do this manually… just press the insert flash button and insert the swf file.
12 when uploading this to the internet you must upload all the mp3’s, the xml page, the swf, and the html page
that’s about it… your 12 steps to happiness. LOL
