Hi guys and thank you Funky Soul for the great tutroial.

My question is how to put the mp3 player on the web. I know i have to upload everything, but I'm not really sure of what to do from there. Please Help!

[funkysoul]

what can you do from there?

- Upload your own tracks and change the paths on the XML
(keep in mind: Copyrights)
- Customize the player to your needs, graphically
- Reverse Engineering and see how I've built the player

just to mention a few possibilities...

Thanks but the problem I'm having is that I don't know how to have the songs play on the web page. The player itself is up but the music does not play. You also said change the xml file path. Could you show me what I have to type in the xml to get the music to play in the mp3 player. Your help would be very appreciated.

BTW, heres the current version.

Thanks

ie.
all your music is saved in a folder called music
and the xml is in the root the path would look like this:

music/yourfile.mp3

I've explained this pretty well on part 1 of my tutorial, maybe you want to go through it first.

PS: I'm not sure if angelfire allows that content on their hosts

I just had a little misunderstanding about that....
The root path.. that could be anywhere on your computer, right?
It doesn't seem to click with me, why there is no.. C://User/documents/whatever/music/file. Or is the "music" folder supposed to be in a certain place?

the music folder should be at where you saved your swf file.

it has to be in the same folder as where you saved your swf in other words.

thanks for commenting that

Ah, thank you very much.

One more question, I created my own, and the playhead starts at the very left of the stage - but I want it to start where my barloader is, on the other side of the stage. what do I do?

[funkysoul]

setInterval(soundStatus,100);
function soundStatus(){
var amountLoaded = _root.sound_mc.sound_obj.getBytesLoaded() / _root.sound_mc.sound_obj.getBytesTotal();
_root.loader.loadBar._width = amountLoaded * 260;
duration = _root.sound_mc.sound_obj.duration;
position = _root.sound_mc.sound_obj.position;
_root.playHead._x = position / duration * 272 + 5;
}

you should put your playhead movieclip right on the left edge of your own progressbar, if you follow the instruction I'm giving on page7 of the tutorial you will easily manage to do in on your own.

Don't forget to change the values corresponding to your loadbar
