Flash Essential

Hi Austin,

I double checked the download file and everything is fine. What error are you getting in the output window? I suspect there is a problem with your xml file, so I suggest you double check it. Feel free to send me through the files at Matt@FlashEssential.com so I can take a closer look at the problem.

cheers.

Hi Clinton

inside the whenLoaded function add these lines of code;

soundChannel.stop();
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playSong);

that should work I think.

Thanks

Yes very cool. Thanks

Somehow script wasn't showed in previous post…
object class="player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="flash/ipod.swf"
param name="wmode" value="transparent" /
/object

Look at this site (www.rockamhoerstein.at) it won't work. Action Script is the same as the sample file - help!

I tried including the code to make the player stop playing when loaded:

Hi Clinton

inside the whenLoaded function add these lines of code;

soundChannel.stop();
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playSong);

but it didn't work. Anything I have missed?

thanks
Oz

Try deleting the line

soundChannel = music.play();

and the line

soundChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, nextSong);

and insert the following line:

play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playSong);

Great player but I have one question…

I also have buttons pertaining to each individual song. How would I get those buttons to play their assigned song when pressed?

Hi , thanks I'm having fun to understand that ! I'm trying to upgrade it with a selectable list … is it a good idea to try with the list component? i succsed to display the list but I try to change the song when i select one , but i'm lost there… do you have some clue ?
Thanks

Glad you got it sorted MG.

Just to give you the heads up folks

Im creating a new player that'll be launched next week…

hopefully..

next time i will post a code for the volume control.

how do i create a javascript add playlist with this script

Brilliant! I liked the u explained code in this tut.

As I promised
Here is the code for Volume Control.

NOTE:
re-skin the player first.

Create a rectangle W= 100 H= 10 convert it to movie clip and give an instance name volume_mc registration center in the left .
Double click the volume_mc and create a new layer then also create a square or circle W=15 H=15 and convert it to movie clip, regitration center give an instance name mySlider_mc lastly create a dynamic text give an intance name volPercent

CODE:

var rectangle:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0,0,100,0);
var dragging:Boolean = false;
var bounds:Object = {left:0, right:100};

volume_mc.buttonMode=true;
volPercent.selectable = false;
volPercent.autoSize = "center";

volume_mc.mySlider_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDragging);

function startDragging(event:Event):void {
volume_mc.mySlider_mc.startDrag(false,rectangle);
dragging = true;
volume_mc.mySlider_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, adjustVolume);
}

function adjustVolume(event:Event):void {
var Vol:Number = volume_mc.mySlider_mc.x / 100;
var soundTransform:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform(Vol);
if (soundChannel != null);
{
if(dragging = true)
soundChannel.soundTransform = soundTransform;
}

stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDragging);

function stopDragging(event:Event):void {
if (dragging) {
dragging = false;
volume_mc.mySlider_mc.stopDrag();
}
volPercent.text = Math.round((volume_mc.mySlider_mc.x-bounds.left)/(bounds.right-bounds.left)*100) + "%";

}
}

Hi, i'm learning AS 3 using CS4.

When I try step 5 to add the event listeners, I get an error saying:
" The actions on the clipboard contain errors. Actions with errors cannot be pasted in script assist mode "

Please advice!!

Cheers,
Jaxz

Silly me, trying the final version shows that the code is correct. Must be some glitch in my pasting ability…

Thanx admin and thanx Budz for completing extra features!

I'm trying to the the code to work that makes the file stop playing when it loads. I've tried all of the suggestions here and I always end up with a file that will only start playing if you skip to the next song. I need help!

I am having real technical difficulties on having the player load without the music playing automatically. I would like to have the music play once the user pushes the Play button. Any Intel? Thanks.

jose.munoz@gmail.com. You have to make sure you put the player in a page/frame where it does not reload every time you surf through other pages of your site.

add this simple code = SoundMixer.stopAll();
to the buttons, so that when you hit buttons like home,about_me,gallery,music,videos,feedback or contact_us/me buttons.
all the sound that you have been play stop. a simple as that.

What happened to your loadProgress preloader? You get excited and forget to put the ProgressEvent code up? Haha.

hi, how to add a stop song button and reload next one?.

Sample, i'm playing 3rd song at list…i click stop…i load 4th song ready to play.

Thanks!

Budz:

stop_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopSong);

function stopSong(event:Event):void
{
soundChannel.stop();
pos = soundChannel.position;
songPlaying = false;
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playSong);
}

that's ok!, but…

¿how to reposition music and current index to reload all at first song?.

Cheers Again!.

Mmmmmmm, how to re-make current sound to first song inside the xml?

Okay so i got the stop button to work.. it's a messy code but does work (this example only for 3 songs, but you get the idea)

function stopSong(e:Event):void
{
if (currentIndex = 1)
{
currentIndex–;
}
else if (currentIndex = 2)
{
currentIndex = songlist.length() - 2;
}

var nextReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(songlist[currentIndex].url);
var prevTitle:Sound = new Sound(nextReq);
soundChannel.stop();
songTXT.text = songlist[currentIndex].title;
soundChannel = prevTitle.play();
songPlaying = false;
currentSound = prevTitle;
soundChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, playSong);
pos = soundChannel.position;
soundChannel.stop();
songPlaying = false;
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playSong);
}
