[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I created a simple audio player based on Todd Perkins’ design on Lynda.com. The player is extremely simple. It has only a stop button. It is designed to start automatically on page load and to stop when the stop button is clicked. It cannot be restarted from within the web page. It is designed to take a file address located in DATA.XML, load the mp3 file found at that address and play it once. All you see on the screen is the stop button. Ultimately, it is planned to be used in a web page where the user can select a song to be played and the player will play it.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I have tested the player in Flash and it performs correctly every time, so I think I have it right. The hitch is when I try embedding it in a web page, the stop button appears but there is no sound. If I click on the stop button, it goes away which is the correct behavior for the button.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]The player.fla file has a player movie clip (player_mc) with the play button (play_mc) movie clip and the pause button (pause_mc) embedded in player_mc. There are two “as” files, Player and PlayerModel that contain all of the ActionScript. There is no AS in the fla file. The script calls for the player to read the XML file and extract the filename from the file, locate the file and play it. When I test the file in Flash (Ctrl-Enter) it works as expected. I have set up a simple page, index.php, containing only the <object> tag needed to launch the player, plus a few commands to write the XML file. When I load the page, the player shows up on the screen, the button functions correctly, but no sound is heard. No error messages are generated that I can find.

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I would appreciate your ideas on what the problem is. The test files are attached. I have not included the mp3 file since it is too large. You can substitute a suitable mp3 file by putting it in the test directory and putting the name of your file in line 11 of index.php in place of 01-01-c-Song.mp3.[/SIZE][/FONT]
