Hi  
I need to create an mp3 player that streams files externally off another spot on my server. Can I load an mp3 file externally, like I would a movie clip? And then just use dot notation to make the play button work? Seems like it has to be harder than that. Especially to stream.

Also, I have thousands of files that this player needs to access (one at a time). I was hoping there was just a way to place a variable into the spot where the url of the mp3 would go, so I could change which file it loads from the outside, rather than create 30,000 players. Ugh.

If anyone know where I could get a tutorial to get started, or how I might approach these issues, I would be very grateful.

Thanks

Evan
