MP3 Player - stop on open

[Linda224]

Hello
I used this tutorial to create a mp3 player but it auto starts when opened.

http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play?id=37

How can I have it stopped when it opens and then the user has to press play to start it?

Thank you for any help

Look for [tt]Sound.play();[/tt] in the script.

And then what?

Cause I found that and took it out and the player doesnt start on load but when you hit play it doesnt play either. It only played if you hit the next button.

Modify the mp3Player.as file to this...

var init:Boolean = true;

// Setup sound object
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.onSoundComplete = playSong;
s.setVolume(75);

// Array of songs
var sa:Array = new Array();

// Currently playing song
var cps:Number = -1;

// Load the songs XML
var xml:XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.onLoad = function()
{
	var nodes:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
	for(var i=0;i<nodes.length;i++)
	{
		sa.push(nodes[i].attributes.url);
	}
	playSong();
}

xml.load("songs.xml");

// Play the MP3 File
function playSong():Void
{
	if(cps == sa.length - 1)
	{
		cps = 0;
		s.loadSound(sa[cps], true);
		if(init){
			s.stop();
		}
	}
	else
	{
		s.loadSound(sa[++cps], true);
		if(init){
			s.stop();
		}
	}
}

Save the mp3Player.as.

In the mp3Player.fla, where I imagine you've added your controls, change the script on your play button to this...

on (release) {
	init = false;
	s.start(0,1);
}

Or to this depending on how you're coding your button...

play_btn.onRelease = function(){
	init = false;
	s.start(0,1);
}

Re-compile the .fla and it should then work fine!
