Has anyone ever tried to make a radio that would spout out lyrics as the song played like a karaoke player? If so, please help because I would like to make a flah piece that would play a song and spout out lyrics simultaneously exactly like karaoke.

My main concern is on how to time the lyrics with the song. Is there a way to place the MP3 (which I will be using) in the timeline and span a certain number of frames so that I know when I can trigger the lyrics?

I really did search on the forum ([this](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32680&highlight=timing+music) didn’t help me) and none seems to help or relate to what I want, so thanks for looking even if you don’t give any suggestion.
