Hi,

I’ve tried several tutorials on the web, including the one on this site, but I can’t get it going. I’m using Flash MX and want to play sounds in my flash file and load the filename of the MP3 from a php script. Any ideas (please step by step)…

thank you!

Okay, this is what I come up with… it doesn’t work at all, but it could be something small (and stupid)… I added the flash action script, the php file and the debug output  
in flash:

* * *

loadVariablesNum (“r.php”, 0);

\_root:soundPlayer = new Sound();  
\_root:soundPlayer.loadSound(mp3file,true);  
\_root:soundPlayer.setVolume(100);  
\_root:soundPlayer.start();

and r.php:

* * *

\<?  
print ‘mp3file = “001.mp3”’;  
?\>

and the debug contents:

* * *

Level #0:  
Variable \_level0.$version = “WIN 6,0,21,0”  
Variable \_level0.soundPlayer = [object #1, class ‘Sound’] {  
duration:[getter/setter] 0,  
position:[getter/setter] 0  
}  
Variable \_level0.\<?

print ‘\_root:var mp3file = " 001.mp3’;  
?\>

"  
Edit Text: Target="\_level0.msg"  
variable = “msg”,  
text = “\_level0.msg”,  
htmlText = “\_level0.msg”,  
html = false, textWidth = 117, textHeight = 18, maxChars = null,  
borderColor = 0x000000, backgroundColor = 0xFFFFFF, textColor = 0x000000, border = false,  
background = false, wordWrap = false, password = false, multiline = false,  
selectable = true, scroll = 1, hscroll = 0, maxscroll = 1,  
maxhscroll = 0, bottomScroll = 1,  
type = “dynamic”,  
embedFonts = false, restrict = null, length = 11, tabIndex = undefined,  
autoSize = “none”,  
condenseWhite = false

without going through the whole thing, I would say you’re definitely missing the “GET” or “POST” from your loadvariables statement.

… and that it’s \_root., not \_root:

… and that PHP variables have a $ in front…
