seems simple enough but i can’t seem to get it to work right

i just want an mp3 to play (and loop indefinately) with a play button, stop button and volume slider

anyone have a file i could look at or something 🙂

ideally the mp3 should load dynamically so that it doesn’t increase the loading time of my movie any =)

make a flash movie with the mp3 in a mc, set it to stream, then export it as a swf. In your main movie make a play and stop button on your play button put a code to load the mp3 swf into a level, your stop buttonwill have stop all sounds action as for the volume slider thingy i havent tried that out so im not sure if it will work but this is one way of doing it try doing a search im sure you will find some topics relating to this good luck
