I am on a deadline for a website I am working on for a local rock band. I have everything done but their mp3 page. I have created a nice looking car radio cd player for the page and it has several buttons for track selection numbered 1-5. When these buttons are hit I would like for them to play a streaming MP3 file. I can not for the life of me get the Mp3 to attach to the button. I have read all the tutorials and still have had no help. Can anyone help???

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  
Thanks

OK. Here is the code I am working with. Maybe I am very confused cuz I am so tired. If someone can help me out with the rest of the code it would be appreciated. This code is only for the first button.

n (press) {  
if (Number(Fmradio) == 0) {  
tellTarget ("/meny") {  
gotoAndPlay(“Cdinsert”);  
menytext = “You Give Love a Bad Name”;  
}  
} else if (Number(Fmradio) == 1) {  
if (Number(radiobutton1) == 0) {  
tellTarget ("/meny") {  
gotoAndPlay(“start”);  
menytext = “The //Rave Channel\\ 12.5 hz. We are playing Rave music none stop and if you like rave music, this is the place for you. Comming up: DJ Hour with Mike and Fritz, so stay tuned for more info and music.”;  
}  
tellTarget ("/radiobutton1") {  
gotoAndStop(“pressed”);  
}  
tellTarget ("/radiobutton2") {  
gotoAndStop(“standard”);  
}  
tellTarget ("/radiobutton3") {  
gotoAndStop(“standard”);  
}  
tellTarget ("/radiobutton4") {  
gotoAndStop(“standard”);  
}  
tellTarget ("/radiobutton5") {  
gotoAndStop(“standard”);  
}  
} else if (Number(radiobutton1) == 1) {  
tellTarget ("/radiobutton1") {  
gotoAndStop(“standard”);  
}  
}  
}

are your mp3’s embedded in the swf,

or are you using any code that looks like this:  
mySound=new Sound();  
mySound.attachSound(“song.mp3”);  
mySound.play();

Alright, first of all, do you have your mp3’s exported for ActionScript as per “linkage” reached by right-clicking the mp3 and clicking “linkage” then selecting the “Export for ActionScript” checkbox. If you don’t, that’s your problem, so give your mp3 a suitable name and…

```php

//like frame 0
mySound=new Sound();
//now what ever frame your attaching 
//the mp3 on or button or whatever
mySound.attachSound("instanceNameYouExportedTheMP3As");
mySound.play();

```

Alright, that should be pretty self explanatory, but here’s a practical application from one of my .flas:

```php

//_root.exhib is our sound object
_root.exhib = new Sound();
//'ex' is the name I have in the Export for AS thing
_root.exhib.attachSound("ex");
_root.exhib.start(0, 1);
//and now the onSoundComplete thing
//this one was used to loop, but yours would probably
//want to make it stop.
_root.exhib.onSoundComplete = function() {
     //Well, it's already loaded, so let's play it again...
     //note that starting it on second 20 isn't important 
     //for you, but it was for the mp3 I was looping.
    _root.exhib.start(20, 1);
};

```

Anyway, hope that helped,
