I’m looking for instructions on how to create my own MP3 player in Flash MX. Ive seen a few of them around… and they have the stop, play, forward track and previous track functions on them. Also, a display of the artist and song playing.

Ive seen the loaderbar on these players which displays how much of the song has been loaded and how much has been played in a different color on the same bar.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks :tb:

Do a search on this forum for dynamically loading a sound file. I think there are a couple of tutorials. That should get you started.
