Hi I have written a small flash mp3 player that plays a couple of tunes - Is it possible for me to download a new mp3 (from the web) and update the tunes in the swf?

Thanks for your help! :whistle:

It’s possible… You could if you know php make a folder and everytime you place a new music file in that folder it can read and place it in the hitlist… But that is incredibly advanced… 🙂

Explain more though… And I’ll see what I can do.

Well all it is is a simple swf like a radio that has a few different tunes to choose from and play. I know how to use asp(ive heard this is similar to php). Your idea sounds intriguing, will the page automatically see that there is a new mp3 in the folder or could i have it choose from a list of mp3s in the folder and on click could download the specific swf. Also would this be possible if i was just using the flash player and not a browser?

Thanks!! :whistle:
