I have a problem with playing the mp3 songs on the internet. it plays fine in the local directory, but when I load it onto the host site, it does not play.  
I made a folder called “MusicFolder” on my host but still It wouldn’t play.  
Is there something I’m missing or need to know about setMedia?

Or is there another way that I can use a media play to play music on the internet?

This is the button script is used to get the song on my local directory.

on(press){  
\_root.myMedia.\_visible = true;  
\_root.myMedia.setMedia(“MusicFolder/BandofDeyear.mp3”);  
}
