Hey there,

I completed Funky's tut on the MP3 player, part 3 and all was great! ;)
But because you are restricted to a few songs because of the playlist (and without making the size of your animation huge), i wanted to add a simmilar effect to this scrolling menu, for the playlist:

I tried, but i have little knowledge of actionscript... :laugh: If someone could help it would be awesome!
(If you want to see what it looks like so far, its on my MySpace page)

Thanks in advance :D

Basically to give you the main idea about how it's done!
Create a container movieclip with a scrollbar, then attach all the song buttons to that containermovie instead to the root.

When I have a little bit more spare time I will post a tutorial about it

OK! I got it! ;)

For anyone that wants to look at my .fla file to extract the code, click here: http://www.freewebs....ic%20Player.fla

The only problem i have now is that the mask i place over the top of the playlist effects the text inside (becomes invisible). Im sure theres an easy way to fix it. Does anyone know how?

http://www.myspace.com/tromac Go here if you dont want to download the fla file, and to see what it's like.

Thanks again ;)
