MP3 Footer / MP3 Player

Alright I have made a Flash Driven MP3 Player for your forums.

First Off Open vba_mp3_player.fla from your .zip file
Once open, Click once on the "White Circle" to select it, Then press F9 to open the Actions Panel.
(WHITE CIRCLE IS LOCATED TO THE LEFT OF THE STAGE)


Now,
Locate this code:

/////////////////////////////////////Song List array
songList = new Array(
"Broken.mp3",
"Flowers.mp3",
"Walls.mp3",
"Shine.mp3"
);

/////////////////////////////////////Song List Description
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////Array
songDesc = new Array(
"Broken",
"Flowers and Cages",
"The Walls",
"Shine"

You need to change the .mp3 with the name of the mp3 you want to play. For example say you don't want to play "Broken.mp3" then you could upload the song "LongView.mp3" so change Broken to LongView.

Second under "Song List Description" you need to change the Title of the Song. The song titles are in the order of the .mp3 listed.

Once you have edited your song for your users to listen to then go to File > Export > Export Movie. In the file name put "mp3player" hit Save. Then check "Protect From Import" and hit OK.

Now some template changes.
Go to Admin Control Panel > Styles and Templates > Style Manager > << YOUR THEME >> > footer

At the very end of that code add:

<center>
<embed src="http://www.yoursite.com/mp3player.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="340" height="21.5"></embed>
</center>

Make sure you upload your music files into your root directory where your .swf file is located at!


Upload > mp3player.swf to main root.
Upload > music files your mp3player needs to read in the SAME directory as your mp3player.swf

Programs needed: Macromedia Flash Professional 8
If you need any support please post it:

ADDED: vba_mp3_auto_off_1.0.0.zip
Q: What is it?
A: It will not automatically load the music your user must hit "play" before it downloads the music. Thus saving bandwidth.

I'm presuming that's what they mean. If you could do that, I would definately use it

See that's the thing. I know of an option that would be. You click a button and it will launch the "Music Player POP Up" And that would be another page. But I'll see about programming it to stop when a page is reloaded or changed and continue after reload or change.

Will the music automatically start, or will the the person browsing the forum be able to turn it on and off?

Also, is it possible so there is a different song for different sections? (I have a music forum, thus meaning I could set say, Iron Maiden for "Old school rock" and Green Day for "Pop Rock".)

And your music in the same directory.
Once that you can either add it under your header or footer. And it should find the music and play. If not I'll look more into it.

Hello,

Same here. Did everything correctly but player is not working/no sound on FireFox. Here is my forum's link

Also is it possible to change the silver BG color of the player to white to match my board's color? You can check the attachment to understand.
