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](http://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? ~ Seretha :love: ---

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. ---

Alright, I think I may have posted a better example of what I don’t understand. Check it out at [www.supremesurf.com](http://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: \ \ \ \ 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! ---

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. ---

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.
