textdisplay transparent: disable the border and background from properties panel when you select the textfield

Swap pause and play:

btn_pause._visible = false;
btn_play.onRelease = function() {
btn_pause._visible = true;
btn_play._visible = false;
...
}
btn_pause.onRelease = function(){
btn_play._visible = true;
btn_pause._visible = false;
....
}

note that you need to enter the "visible" lines of code to the already given code.

PS: thanks for the nice comments

[Wowzers]

I'm sorry I'm being lazy and Didn't feel like trying it, untill i knew for sure. But will the play button be hidden if paused and the pause hidden when playing?? lol. If not thats fine im sure i can alter it so it works like that.

[funkysoul]

seems like it

btw.. dont' forget to swap the buttons around if autostart is off

Okay, I am stuck. I have looked through the whole of the code and compared it to the original but cannot identify why they do not behave the same. I have managed to get to Part III of the tutorial and have most of the features I want integrated. However, what I discovered was that my scrolling text only displays once, and then never appears again. Why could this be? If you could help me resolve this issue I would be very grateful. My other query is that I would like a section on my MP3 player, which drops down (like in WinAMP when you click on the down arrow button), which then displays the song/track listings with a scrollbar down the side.

Can you save me? Please?

Thank you so much for your time,
Shaun.

Could you please also tell me how I would integrate the Play/Pause crossover using the code provided 4 posts above this one?

Thank you, Shaun.

If you want to see the player, please PM me.

[LegaLega]

I am using Flash MX... and for some reason can not get the pause button to work. I attempted to debug by creating a button that has the following applicable actionscript:

TEST.onRelease = function() {
_root.sound_mc.sound_obj.stop();
_root.sound_mc.sound_obj.start(45);
};

It acts the same way. I get no sound. what am I doing wrong with the "start" code?

[funkysoul]

Shouldn't it be

this._parent.sound_mc.sound_obj.start(posiP);

[LegaLega]

Shouldn't it be

this._parent.sound_mc.sound_obj.start(posiP);

I had it that way and it was the same result: no sound. I tried to debug by using "_root".

Here's the .fla file.

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

[funkysoul]

hmm funny.. I've tested out your fla file and everything is working how it should..
I'm running flash 8 pro, but I've outputted the file as a mx 2004 fla.

ahhh... i'm running flashmx.. is this the issue?

[funkysoul]

actually it shouldn't be since I'm using AS 2.0..

I don't have any possibility to check it on flash mx

[dlusion]

anyone managed to make a Mute button?

I made one, but doesnt work anymore if i use volumecontroller again :-/ so basicly it works for 1 time only.

Does any1 know how to make correct one?

[Pax]

if on release of the mute button, you should just be able to set:

if(!this.bMuted){
sound_obj.setVolume(0);
this.bMuted = true;
} else {
sound_obj.setVolume(100);
this.bMuted = false;
}

The volume slider should still work. It will need more work if you'd like it to change the location of the volume slider, or when you unmute to go to the previously selected volume.

[dlusion]

thanks Pax, but it still didn't fix my problem.

With your code i end up having the same problem as before, the button won't mute anymore when i've used to volumeslider :-/

it sounds like its being overruled by something else :-/ i discovered that as soon as the volumeslider has been touched, the button doenst work anymore!

this is my code... any ideas?

[Pax]

Looks like you missed clearing an onEnterFrame. Try the following:

volume1.dragger.onReleaseOutside = function() {
	stopDrag();
	delete this.onEnterFrame;
};

volume1.mute.onRelease = function() {
	//startDrag(this, true, 0, this._y, this._parent.volBG._width , this._y);
	//this.onEnterFrame = function() {
		//var p = (this._x/this._parent.volBG._width)*100;
		_root.sound_mc.sound_obj.setVolume(0);
//};
}

[pelicansfly]

It worked perfectly, thanks..

[dlusion]

yeeeeeey! that worked for me as well!

Sorry for the misser :-)

Thanks a bunch, Pax.. really appriciate it!

[dlusion]

alright.. another problem showed up...

i don't know what's wrong, but on start-up i dont hear shit but mp3 is running (proof is the secondscounter).. when i touch the volumeslider the sounds popsop outtanowhere and nothing is wrong. So basicly the sound is turned off onload.

i already tryed putting "_root.sound_mc.sound_obj.setVolume(100);" at the top of my code, but wouldnt help.

anyone who knows a solution? thanks in advance!

Comment out the line shown in the code above. That should fix it.

damn, should've seen that one..
