I was wondering if it was possible to have the song name and band scroll up instead of scrolling left? And maybe have it stop when it gets to the song name, scroll up and stop to show the band name.

[Bug]

Yeah there's probably some patches/hacks out there for specific MP3 players that can do that. Personally, that would be a cool idea!! Some MP3 players probably already give the option, though.

Which brand are you looking at?

[AnTone Media]

well the one I was talking about was funkysouls mp3player that he made in flash.

Oooohhh Mis-read the category you put this topic in... lol

Doh!

Well, I'm not familiar with his MP3 player, since I never really needed to take the tutorial. You should contact funky, probably PM him. He hasn't been on this forum much lately

[AnTone Media]

hmm, that's strange. Before when I had questions about it, he would answer within hours

[Pax]

yeah, funkysoul hasn't been around very much recently. I'm pretty sure he's busy with work. Paste the code here that makes the text appear, and I'll give you a hand. Or post your fla and I'll have a look at it that way.

[AnTone Media]

here's the code.

stop();
timeDisplay_txt.autoSize = "left";

playlist = new XML();
playlist.ignoreWhite = true;
playlist.onLoad = function(success) {
	if (success) {
		_global.songname = [];
		_global.songband = [];
		_global.songfile = [];
		for (var i = 0; i<playlist.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {
			_global.songname[i] = playlist.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.name;
			_global.songband[i] = playlist.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.band;
			_global.songfile[i] = playlist.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.file;
			// trace(songname[i]+"  "+songfile[i]+" "+songband[i]);
		}
	}
	_root.createEmptyMovieClip("sound_mc", 1);

and here's the link of what my mp3 player looks like if you were interested and stuff.

This is the code you are looking for. Change the animation so it moves on the Y axis. Youll have to play with some of the variables and numbers so it shows up in the right spots. I have to go, but post back on here if you need more help. Good luck

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	_root.title_txt._x -= 1;
	if (_root.title_txt._x < (-100-_root.title_txt.width)) {
		_root.title_txt._x = 505.6;
	}
}

ok I got it to work. But I want it to somehow get the title of the song to be on one line and the band to be on another when it scrolls up. Is it possible?

[Pax]

this._parent.title_txt.text = name+" - "+band;

change to:

this._parent.title_txt.text = name+"\n"+band;

That should work.
