Re: FLASH: mp3 playback

[2Nerotik]

Hmm I don't know about controlling an MP3 per say.


But if you are creating a sound movie with flash via it's MP3 compression.


You can possibly control it from another movie.


Say in your Song movie create a second layer that sends a variable

to your controller movie telling the controller movie what frame the song

movie is currently on.


So that the Controller movie can then use that info to advance, stop or rewind

from that position.


Now of course due to the speed of movie play and delay in sending/receiving 

that

variable, it will be a couple of frames out of synch. But as I see it now 

possibly your

best bet.


Playing next/prev tracks is easier, just have a play list of the movies. 

Set the names

in variables with track numbers etc. and do a check to see which track it 

currently

is playing then either sub/add 1 (or more) numbers and have it play/load 

that movie.


Another possibility is to have each song movie, at the first Keyframe,

send the total number of frames contained in that particular movie and

have the controller movie perform a loop check until that number of frames

is reached then load the next song.


I have several other ideas as well but without more info about exactly what you

are trying to do it's hard to know which direction to go in.
