I saw a really nice MP3 player on [Virb.com](http://Virb.com) and wanted to see if anyone knew of a tutorial that demonstrates all the steps of making something like this:

I’ve found plenty of tutorials that talk about the various elements (a play/pause toggle, progress bar, getting the length of the MP3) but I’m not enough of a Flash developer to put it all together.

I just need to get a working MP3 player for my music website, which will allow me to stream MP3s while preventing downloads. Using Virb is not an option, as they have a new paid model (and also deleted my old musician account without warning)! I just think that this player is pretty neat because it somehow hybridizes HTML links to send variables to a Flash controller that obscures the URL of the MP3.

FYI the source of the screenshot is here if you want to see the player in action:
