I created an mp3 player as a class project, the user enters the file location and the audio file is loaded into the player. Here’s the link:  
[http://www.geocities.com/darkest\_hour666/ASmp3.html](http://www.geocities.com/darkest_hour666/ASmp3.html)

When i tested it in flash and through IE while it was on my computer, it worked fine, but when i put it on the net and tested it i got the message telling me it didn’t load.

I disabled norton internet security and it still doesnt work.

When the user adds the file, it gets “file:///” put infront of it, saved to an array, then loaded into an audio object.

Thanks,
