MINI MP3 PLAYER + DROP DOWN

Please advise how to control the volume without opening Flash. Where does “artist” appear in the player? Can the player be used without the background – only the small player itself? Thanks much!

I like it, easy to use and modify…

cheers!!

Love it! I was looking for something exactly like this, small but with a drop down for the songs.

It took me a while though to separate the player itself from the 590px wide background (as shown in preview) since the swf file had it there. It would really save buyers (especially those who do not own flash editing softwares – which is most likely why they’re just buying flash in the first place) a lot of time if you provided the swf file without the background in the preview because it annoyed me as hell, & I’m not only speaking in behalf of those who don’t have the flash programs but also for those who are not familiar working with flash (which again, is probably why they are just buying flash instead of making them). I happen to be the latter, so I had to figure out for hours how to “crop” the player out of the background since deleting the background obviously does not do it, nor does making its layer “not show”, or modifying the document’s width & height, the swf file still remains 590px wide which is completely opposite from what I wanted because I was looking for a small player. I had to change the x & y margins of the player & modify the document’s width & height (removing all the empty space) once the player was fit topmost to the left, & I removed the dropshadow filter so there could be a certain width & height by pixels.

There’s probably some super obvious way to make the swf file magically transform to match the player’s width & height the way we see it, without having to edit the .fla file, or doing all the stuff I did, but I’m not familiar with flash (which is why I buy flash so I don’t have to mess with flash myself) & I only had common sense on my side, & very little flash-knowledge so it really took a while to get everything exactly right.

It would really save a lot of trouble if you provided an swf file containing only the player itself without the unnecessary extra spacing all over it, & without the background, so we don’t have to do any hands-on editing on the flash file itself. I mean, it’s probably just really easy for you, while here I am spending hours trying to do something as simple as that, & basically end up doing exactly what I was trying to avoid when I bought this flash file which was mess with flash myself, so you should just include it in there to save us all the headache of trying to figure it out ourselves, & it would just be a major favor for all of us who don’t know how to work with flash as much.

Hello,

First of all, very nice little player. I love it! Great job!

I have two questions about it:

1, is it possible to shuffle the songs so the songs play in a different order every time the page is refreshed?

2, where are the artist name displayed? It is in the XML file, but I can’t see it on the drop down list of the player.

Thanks, Matt

Ahh, so glad I’ve actually learned some programming lately.

I was going to ask how to make the playlist visible by default, but managed to figure it out.

For anyone else who are wondering the same just change

list_comp._visible = false; playlistMC2._visible = false;

to

list_comp._visible = true; playlistMC2._visible = true;

on line 137 and 138.

The first change makes the playlist visible by default and the second change makes the default button the “playlist expanded”-button.

Cheers.
