  4. HotWomen Says:

    Great post. Gives me what I have been looking for.


  5. Obiez Devil Says:

    Yeah…it’s incredible tutorial….Great.
    I’m looking forward for your another great tutorial


  6. Obiez Devil Says:

    how about displaying duration of song and current time in your mp3 player


  7. Horatiu Condrea Says:

    Obiez Devil, thanks for the compliments, is not a bad idea, but now I have much to work, and I don’t have much time. But in the future I will make an update to the MP3 Player.


  8. ken Says:

    could you pls. fix this error

    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/calcProgress()

    anyway thank you for this tutorial.
    I hope this error #1009 should be fix asap.


  9. Horatiu Condrea Says:

    Well, this error is because the progress bar, is in the Library, and have the instance name “progress_mc”. Just draw a line on the stage, and named progress_mc in this Movie CLip draw a litle line caled “mcProgressFill” This is the line that will make large in the same time with song.


  10. mark Says:

    @Horatiu Condrea
    same as the above mentioned by ken Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at Untitled_fla::MainTimeline/calcProgress()

    and I did already, I draw a rectangle and name it progress_mc and inside the movie clip I also draw a rectangle in name it mcProgressFill but the error #1009 still exist.


  11. Horatiu Condrea Says:

    hmm…very interesting, if you really want this mp3 player, I will send you the original work without any error. I can’t realize what is the problem with this error.


  12. BigGuy Says:

    Hey i really like your player do u have a tutorial of this somewhere so i can make it and use it or could you please give me a download link

    thanks


  13. Flashman Says:

    hey i have tried to make this player but i can’t seem to be able to. i am getting about 14 errors and most of them are about import gs.TweenMax
    for some reason it doesn’t import it

    i really like this tutorial do you reckon you could give me a download link


  14. Horatiu Condrea Says:

    Usually I don’t do this, because I want to put this player on FlashDen. But because many people like this player. I will gave you a download link, and I put a donation system, if you realy like this player, you can make a donation.

    Download link: CLICK


  15. Flashman Says:

    Thanx for the download link but i have 2 question
    How do i make the stop button stop the song but also start it from the beginning and also how do i stop the music playing when i enter swf and make it play when i click play


  16. Horatiu Condrea Says:

    Well, I will give you the easy whay to do this:
    1. Move the play button at the same position as the stop button and when the -isPlaying = true;- the stop_btn is visible, and play_btn is invisible… and when the -isPlaying = false;- the play_btn is visible and the stop_btn is invisible. Remember before to do this one button must be invisible, this depends if the music is playing or not when you start the swf file.
    2. Just add this line of code in the -whenLoaded- function
    SoundMixer.stopAll();


  17. Flashman Says:

    SoundMixer.stopAll(); i added that function in the whenLoaded function but i doesn’t work


  18. Horatiu Condrea Says:

    Hmm, very interesting. Well then change the -isPlaying- to false, var isPlaying:Boolean = false;.


  19. ShadowRunner Says:

    Thank you very much for this player mate, i downloaded the player and when i loaded a new mp3 file that is larger that yours it gives me Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error.
    at index_fla::MainTimeline/nextSong()

    What is this exactly ?
    Thanks in advance mate


  20. Horatiu Condrea Says:

    Well, if you have 2 ore more songs add on this player, when you arrive on the last song, and you want to go to the first song again this error appears, actually is not an error, it’s just an warring.

    Soon I will make a new MP3 Player and I will posted on the blog, If you wait, you cand downloaded that one.


  21. Budz Says:

    @ShadowRunner

    add this line of code sc.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, nextSong); for next,previous buttons & Progress bar. last line of setNewProgress also the last line for next & prev buttons.


  22. Budz Says:

    Hi everyone,
    In respect to the author of this mp3Player AS3. I reconstructed the codes for this mp3Player a week ago now and put additional features.
    This tutorial is very helpful especially to a newbie like me. But I make this more editable.I re-skinned the player and changed the buttons with my own style. I created a mute button, volume percent display, playback percent display, and progress time display and replace the compute spectrum with my own style. So if you interested the player I’d done? I’ll give you the link where you can download the player [ASAP] in exchange with a simple thank you. lol…Thanks to the author and it’s really nice player.I really appreciated it. Thank you and sorry for my long comments.

    Hi. Awesome tutorial and great mp3 player…thank you! I have a question, though. I’m very new to Flash and I was wondering how to disable autoplay. How can I adjust the code to prevent the player from starting right away? Any response is greatly appreciated. Great blog!


  30. Horatiu Condrea Says:

    Hello David,
    Change the -isPlaying- to false, var isPlaying:Boolean = false;.
    If doesen’t work, write me.

    Horia,


  31. David Says:

    Hi Horatiu. Thanks for your fast reply. I changed the code on line 28 from [var isPlaying:Boolean = true;] to [var isPlaying:Boolean = false;] but the player still starts up automatically in test mode. I tried adjusting a few other lines I thought may be associated with autoplay (177, 202, 226) but no luck.

    Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.


  32. Horatiu Condrea Says:

    Sorry David, this player seems to have a problem…(if you want to disable autoplay, I need to change more things). If you want you can download budz’s player, in that player music don’t start automatically. Sorry again is my fault, but now I don’t have time to make another player.

  35. Budz Says:

    @David
    go to line 48 and remove this: “sc = sound.play();”
    and add this line of code: “play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playSound);”
    simple as that.
