SWITCH MP3 PLAYER

@ BigShooter

No, the MP3 player will not interfere with other sounds in the movie. It operates out of its own sound object, and so volume changes will only apply to that sound object.

@ zalec

Yes, you should be able to have several instances of the player in your movie. If you have a player placed in a frame directly after another player, consider giving the movie clips different names or Flash may confuse the two.

The internal playlist option will work perfectly if you would like multiple players with different playlists. You could also have the players loading different XML playlists by simply changing the line of code that loads the XML file.

Glad to hear you are interested in the file! Hopefully that answers your questions, if not, just click on my profile and send me an email.

@ ghettosoul (and anyone else who would like to try this)

To stop the music from looping, simply navigate to line #196 of the Actionscript. There you should find the line of code that plays the next song. It will look like this:

// now play the next song.
playMusic();

Change the “playMusic” function to the “stopMusic” function. Now when the 1st track finishes, it will stop playing (just as if someone had pressed the button).

If you need some more assistance, feel free to email me via my profile page.

Thank you for purchasing the file. I’ll take that volume slider idea into consideration.

If you are having trouble with your new design, I’d be glad to assist you. Check your inbox for an email i recently sent.

There is a variable called currentPosition that keeps track of the place where the song was paused. Try setting it to 0 and that may solve your problem.

If not, you can also try the refreshSoundObject() function.

Best of luck!

If you would like multiple Switch MP3 Players in the same movie, the first step is to duplicate the main movie clip in the library. If not, all the MP3 players will probably end up using the same playlist and performing the same actions, which is usually not the desired effect.

Inside the main movie clip, the mouse events are located on the button. Click once on the button and then check out your Actions panel. You should see a block of code that starts with on(release).

As you can see, it normally just stops or starts the MP3 player. With a bit of modification, you can also make it stop and start other Switch MP3 Players. You just have to address them correctly, like so:

_parent.myOtherMP3Player.stopMusic();

The beginning of the code will change depending on where your movie clip is located, and what you have named it.

@ stockstreet

Yes, the MP3 player does have a randomize feature that can easily be turned on or off.
