Well here is my idea: i have a page where i would want to open a new window when i press an icon next to the song title and have a MediaPlayback Flash component to play that song.  
A standalone MP3 is not OK…has to be either incorporated (only playing part) into the choosing page or the way im trying to do.  
Something with the overall design… 🙂  
So…is there a way to feed the component contentPath to the song when i click on the icon? Maybe via PHP and loadVars? Ive tried something like this already but didnt work. Although in worst case scenario ill just create a swf file for each MP3 🙂

This is what i tried though:  
the code i put on mediaPlayback

```auto

on(load){
    var dataIn = new LoadVars();
    
    dataIn.onLoad = function(){
     var conPath = this.komad;
     player.contentPath = conPath; //player is an instance name of MediaPlayback component on Stage
    }
    
    dataIn.load("peeppop.php");
}

```

in php

```auto

<a href="#" onclick="
<?php
echo '&komad = music/01.mp3&';
?>
"><img src="images/zvocnik.gif" /></a>

```
