I have a question about extending the functionality of an mp3 player I created in flash. I was wanting a pop up menu that expands on button click but that’ll come easy. However, I was wanting to display the duration of the tracks playing how is this possible? I don’t need a book on going about it but a general summary will do just fine :). I’m also curious as how I can set up the mp3 player to run from an xml playlist so that I may creat buttons to scroll through the various mp3’s (like winamp.)

Thanks in advance 🙂

I realize the mp3 player subject has been brought up various times but I didn’t quite get the info I was looking for which is the reason behind this post.
