Flash music player problems

1

I made a music player in flash and I am having problems with it when I embed it in an html for the internet. There is a dynamic text box that is linked to the mp3s and it works fine in Flash Player, but when I put it in an html the buttons on my flash player don’t work. If anyone has any ideas please get back to me. I really appreciate your help. You can view what I have done at www.supremesurf.com

thanks

Sorry tyarmstrong, never used a dynamic text box for music players. Let me check some places, if I find anything I’ll let you know soon.

Have you searched the forums and google for this?

well what exactly do you want the buttons to do play the mp3 or to download the mp3

I have 4 buttons. The top left should play the song, the top right should stop it, the bottom left rewinds it, and the bottom right fast forwards it. As I said this all works great until I embed it in an html. I don’t want the song to download, just stream I guess. The reason I have a dynamic text field is because I am using an xml document with the song names on it, so that the company I am making it for can change it without changing the flash file. Thanks for all your help.

how are your buttons targetting the music files?? are you using a variable, ive never used xml so i really dont know but from what your saying it seems like its a problem with the xml file not the fla

Alright,

I think I may have posted a better example of what I don’t understand. Check it out at www.supremesurf.com. When you click a button it links to the xml to load the name of the song into the player, but no song. This sucks because before I embed the flash into the html it works fine, so I am thinking that it is something to do with that. This is what my xml looks like:

<tracks>
<track name=“Things You Can Do” path=“track1.mp3”/>
<track name=“F&%$ You” path=“track2.mp3”/>
</tracks>

Please check the site one more time, I redid the player in hopes of making it work, but it still doesn’t. Any comments or questions are welcome. Please help me.

this would be a whole lot easier if you post your file. I cannot tell what is wrong from looking at your site.

Have a good one!

dude waht flash version you using i tried both mx and 2004 and it wont open with any o them

I don’t know why it won’t work, I am using MX and when I just downloaded it, it worked fine. I don’t really know what to do. I think it should work for you. If anyone else says anything, maybe I can do something different. I would upload the .swf, but I guess that isn’t very helpful either. Sorry, it should work in MX.

I get the same thing. Unexpected file format. I would just try to upload the file again.

I tried in MX and 2004

Hopefully this one works. Thanks for telling me about the problem.

If you are using an Apple, I get the same thing, Unhandled File Type, but instead of just clicking on the link, I held down option then clicked and it immediately downloaded and worked. Hopefully this helps.
