Expensive Multiple Track Music Player Tutorial

Flash driven MP3 players add a new level of satisfaction to the user experience.
Flash allows web developers to add levels of interactivity to their websites that were previously impossible. One of the most popular ways to make use of the power of Flash is to add MP3 player applications that stream multiple tracks that the user can control to enhance the website experience. The process for creating a multiple track MP3 player is relatively simple, even for a novice user.

Create four buttons using the "Text" and "Rectangle" tools: "Play," "Pause," "Next" and "Stop."
8
Type an instance name for each of the buttons using the following syntax:
btn_play
btn_stop
btn_prev
btn_next
9
Create a "Dynamic" text field on the stage and give it an instance name of display_txt.
10
Insert a new layer in the "Layers" panel and rename it "a."
11
Select frame 1 of "a," press F9, then type "stop();" without the quotation marks in the actionscript panel.
12
Paste the following code below "stop();" of the actionscript panel:
playlist= new XML();
playlist.ignoreWhite=true;
playlist.onload = function (success) {
if(success) {
_global.songname = [];
_global.songfile = [];
for (var i=0; i0) {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
this._parent.display_txt.text=name;
} else {
this._parent.display_txt.text=\"loading...\"
}
}
this.sound_obj.onSoundComplete = function () {
(song_nr==songfile.length-1)? _global.song_nr=0 : _global.song_nr++;
_root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr],songname[song_nr]);
}
}
btn_play.onRelease = function () {
this._parent.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr],songname[song_nr]);
}
btn_stop.onRelease = function() {
this._parent.sound_mc.sound_obj.stop();
}
btn_next.onRelease = function () {
(song_nr==songfile.length-1)? _global.song_nr=0 : _global.song_nr++;
_root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr],songname[song_nr]);
}
btn_prev.onRelease = function () {
(song_nr==0)? _global.song_nr=songfile.length-1 : _global.song_nr--;
_root.sound_mc.songStarter(songfile[song_nr],songname[song_nr]);
}
playlist.load(\"playlist.xml\");
13
Save the Flash document in the "Mp3Player" folder that you created earlier.
