i’m trying to play a soundfile from external source passing a varible into flash which is called through php.the reason for doing this is without making changes in flash scripting i can play any sound just changing the file name in html. for the refernece i have attached .fla file and also the source code i have used in php. please help me to make it work.

can i do this this way?

source code are …

in flashfile

//soundUrl = “[http://jennl.com/mp3/10011.mp3](http://jennl.com/mp3/10011.mp3)”;  
// create sound object, assign properties and events  
function createSoundObject(){  
translation = new Sound(); // define sound object  
return;  
}  
// create initial sound object  
createSoundObject();

// load and/or play song  
function playSnd(){  
// check playstate  
if(isPlaying){  
status = “playing”;  
return; // deactivate button during play/load  
} else {  
isPlaying = true;  
}  
translation.loadSound(soundUrl,true); // sound automtically plays afer loading  
status = “loading”;  
onEnterFrame = showPlayState; // start tracking playstate  
}

// stop both playback and download  
function stopSnd(){  
translation.stop(); // stop playback  
delete translation; // stop download  
createSoundObject(); // create a new sound object  
isPlaying = false;  
onEnterFrame = null; // stop tracking playstate  
status = “stopped”;  
title = “hit play”;  
}  
// pause sound  
function pauseSnd(){  
translation.stop();  
isPlaying = false;  
onEnterFrame = null; // stop tracking playstate  
status = “paused”;  
}  
stopSnd();  
// assign button events  
playBtn.onRelease = function () {  
playSnd();  
}  
pauseBtn.onRelease = function () {  
pauseSnd();  
}  
stopBtn.onRelease = function () {  
stopSnd();  
}  
stop(); // prevent timeline looping
