i’ve found the cause of the “buffering bug”. will post a fix soon. all i can say now is that it involves using _sound.close() to stop any data from downloading before loading the track again.

First of all, THANKS A BUNCH! This player helped me so much in learning more about AS3 and how the code works, in unity with a .XML file and setting a document class, etc.

I do have one small problem that I am unable to fix. I use the .AS file you posted to make it not play automatically, and it seems to cut off about a second from every song then skip to the next one. How would I make it wait until each song completely plays through first?

Any help from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks!

Craig great job at getting this far. Look at the noplay.zip file I have included in the post. Look at lines 192 and 193 to see how those two lines work together to stop the playback. Now just create another dispatchEvent, call it playSound or something, to get it playing again when the user clicks out of the video frame.

This is a really great MP3 player. Thank you for sharing it.
I’ve incorporated it into my website, and it works very well. I have a FLV player on my site, and I need the MP3 player to pause when a user clicks the button to advance to that frame. I’m a real AS3 novice, so I really don’t know what to do. Can you help me?
This is my button:
video_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,videoclickFunction);
function videoclickFunction(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndPlay(“videos”);
}
Then it would be great to start it again when the user goes back to the last frame. I have another button to do that.
Thanks!

Hey what’s with the silent treatment? 3 days pass and no one is home? Is no one else experiencing the above mentioned problem? ANY comment in regards to this would be helpful.

The player is amazing, Thanks. I do have one issue that I couldn’t find above (There’s quite a bit of stuff up there) the player seems to bog down in the buffering stage if the “next” or “previous” buttons are hit several times in succession (or back in fourth quickly) before the files are completely downloaded.

By bogged down I mean,
-the music stops playing
-the % downloaded disappears
-the bar % downloaded disappears
-the artist/title shows “buffering” only

I do realize this probably causes multiple files downloading at once but shouldn’t the % info reset and song play?

Just seems kinda of buggy like this. Especially if someone wants to skip thru the songs quickly to see what songs are offered first before choosing one to listen to.

Any ideas towards the fix? Once again amazing player.
