I have made an mp3 player that uses the following to load the mp3

s = new Sound();  
s.loadSound(“test.mp3”,true);  
gotoAndPlay(“Playing”);

this works fine no problem

the thing is i want to state the mp3 file from the param tag in the html page like this

\<param name=“FlashVars” value=“mp3\_url=test.mp3”\> #

i have tried all i can guess at and searched the web but nothing i find seems to work.

files can be found here
