When a button is clicked, is it possible for that button to open winamp and download a mp3 clip into winamp at the same time? IF so how, if not any other sugestions as to how i could make an mp3 soundbite download and play in winamp? Cheers

Does it have to be in Winamp? Flash can play sounds pretty well itself… If you really want Winamp to launch, you could write a small piece of HTML and or Javascript to push down the MP3. Then use the Get URL() function on flash to open and process your code stored in an HTML file in the same directory.

Just a thought…
