HI,

Since I’m fairly new to Flash, I thought I would use the built-in Flash MX 2004 Pro Media Playback component to play a list of mp3’s. Does anyone know if there is a tute that explains how to create a music list (mp3’s) in XML that can be loaded into the Media Playback component for playback and control.

Unless of course, there is a better way to play about 10 mp3 files. I would like to have a list and let the user choose which song to play then control with it with the media component.

Thanks.
