I am having trouble with this, http://www.pixel2life.com/twodded/t_create...yer_using_xml_/

I have got everything to work while its on my computer but when I upload it wont play anything. It keeps saying loading, I think it has somethng to do with the playlist.xml. I have changed the paths inside the .xml several times but it still dont work. thats the location of my mp3. All of my other files are in the same location. So what do I put in for the path in the xml? everything i have tried doesnt work. Any help here please?

is the xml also in the same location as the SWF?
Is the path to the XML correct?
instead of using absolute links, use relative links.

Is the path to the XML correct? I have tried just "playlist.xml" and the whole url path to the xml
instead of using absolute links, use relative links. I have tried both, but neither work.

thats where all my files are at. I have tried both relative and absolute but neither work for some reason.

I have changed the path to the playlist in the fla several times 2, right now i have it set all to relative links

I was wondering if it was possible if the player only streamed on load and didnt play. Instead of playing as soon as it had enough streamed

Did u update the swf? lol.. Sometimes it takes a while for an swf file to update (for me atleast).

you can take the automatic play out, there is a topic somwhere in here.
Problem is if you don't play the sound, the file will never be buffered.
Alternatively you could write a function which starts the sound and stops it right after a few ms..

Didn't find the topic.. but I managed to fix it anyhow.
Autoplay is can be removed by deleting line 36:

_root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr]);

(couldnt make it stop right after a few ms code... )

[funkysoul]

you need to write that function by yourself noone asked for a "no-play, but buffer anyway" function ever.. to be honest, it doesn't even make sense for me, why wasting the users bandwidth.
