I've gone through the mp3 tutorials and modified the final result for what i'm looking for. one thing i would like though is to be able to add another attribute in for a clickable button that links to another page that would have lyrics.

so my xml would look like this i believe or something close

<song name ="Test Track 4" band ="Band4" file="test4.mp3" lyrics="testlyrics.html" />

basically so it adds another button in after the track listing so you can click and view the lyrics that would be on a separate page. I don't quite understand how it all draws together in flash actionscript and how to put the lyrics attribute on another button.

Is there any possible way of doing this?

i'll attach my fla and such in a zip also.

thanks a bunch

title_txt.autoSize = "left";
timeDisplay_txt.autoSize = "left";
toolTip._visible = false;
var amountLoaded:Number;
var duration:Number;

playlist = new XML();
playlist.ignoreWhite = true;
playlist.onLoad = function(success) {
	if (success) {
		_global.songname = [];
		_global.songband = [];
		_global.songfile = [];
		_global.songlyrics = [];
		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;
		_global.songlyrics[i] = playlist.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.lyrics;
		attachMovie("butTemp","but"+i,i+50);
		eval("but"+i).id=1;
		_root["but"+i]._x = 60;
		_root["but"+i]._y = 40 + (i*15);
		_root["but"+i].but_txt.text = songname[i];
		if (i >= 25){
			_root["but"+i]._x = 60;
			_root["but"+i]._y = -111 + (i*15);
		}
		attachMovie("butlyrics","butt"+i,i+5);
		eval("butt"+i).id=1;
		_root["butt"+i]._x = 445;
		_root["butt"+i]._y = 40 + (i*15);
		_root["butt"+i].but_txt.text = "view lyrics";
		
		
		_root["but"+i].onRelease = function(){
			clearInterval(timeInterval);
			_root.timeDisplay_txt.text = "00:00/00:00";
			_root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[this.id]);
		}

//**this is where i really dont know whats going on or really what i'm doing

		_root["butt"+i].onRelease = function(){
			getURL(_global.songlyrics[i] = playlist.firstChild.childNodes[i].attributes.lyrics, "_blank");

		}
	}
	}
	_root.createEmptyMovieClip("sound_mc", 1);
	_global.song_nr = random(songfile.length);
	_root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr]);
};
