I’ve been working on a Mp3 play for the last month and at the last minute i decided to make it to where you could drag the playHead anywhere on the progress bar(loader.loadBar) MC and it would play where you dropped the playHead.
Well after a week of failed attempts, i decided to come to the masters and ask for advice or to see where i am screwing up. Here is my actionscript:
stop();
artist_txt.autoSize = “left”;
song_txt.autoSize = “left”;
timeDisplay_txt.autoSize = “left”;
toolTip._visible = false;
var amountLoaded:Number;
var duration:Number;
var pauseTime:Number = 0;
var stopped:Boolean = false;
playlist = new XML();
playlist.ignoreWhite = true;
playlist.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
_global.songname = [];
_global.songband = [];
_global.songfile = [];
for (var i = 0; i<playlist.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {
_global.songname* = playlist.firstChild.childNodes*.attributes.name;
_global.songband* = playlist.firstChild.childNodes*.attributes.band;
_global.songfile* = playlist.firstChild.childNodes*.attributes.file;
// trace(songname*+" “+songfile*+” “+songband*);
}
}
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“sound_mc”,1);
_global.song_nr = random(0);
_root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr],songname[song_nr],songband[song_nr]);
};
function timer(sound_obj) {
time = sound_obj.position/1000;
min = Math.floor(time/60);
min = (min<10) ? “0”+min : min;
sec = Math.floor(time%60);
sec = (sec<10) ? “0”+sec : sec;
timeDisplay_txt.text = min+”:"+sec+" - “+totalDuration;
}
function duration() {
timed = _root.sound_mc.sound_obj.duration/1000;
mind = Math.floor(timed/60);
mind = (mind<10) ? “0”+mind : mind;
secd = Math.floor(timed%60);
secd = (secd<10) ? “0”+secd : secd;
totalDuration = mind+”:"+secd;
}

if you need the fla file, let me know and i’ll upload it.
Thanks.
