Hi there, here’s the situation:
Currently I am loading my content by clicking a button, from where a “music.txt” file containing HTML is loaded into a textarea.
Normally, inside the textfile I would type: \Song\
Unfortunately, when clicking that link, all that happens is Firefox opening with a blank page?
I hope you are able to help me, I just want a song to be loaded when clicking on that link.
Thanks a lot for reading, greets Rowan.

I think it has something to do with Flash putting file:/// before the actual address of the mp3?

After a lot of searching, I came across something called asfunction. This directed me to a solution already on this forum:
