Toggle Play Mp3 Button

This flash mp3 player comes with a lot of features which can easily be changed using the XML file.

It supports the most basic functions of an mp3 player: play/pause.

Hi
Great little Button, but...
I want to edit the source file 'project.fla', but I can't find any action code in it?
Reason I want to edit, is because i want to have more than one button, playing separate songs, on my site.

We fixed a bug today, related to looping. Please check the Change Log.

I was wondering if it was possible to reduce the image size of the button. I tried adjusting it in the parameters of the xml file but it just cropped off the image weird so it was not recognizable. Any help will be appreciated! KatMac

Sure you can. Please check the article related to resizing our components, in the FAQ section here http://www.flabell.com/forum/topic.php...

Just tried to download and the .zip file has 0 KB. Tried four times on three browsers. Any suggestions? Thanks.

OK, not sure if this is the place and I checked forums and FAQ but.... Total FL noob here....

When I upload the basicplayer folder structure and link to the preview.swf file directly in my browser, the sound.mp3 file plays (which is now my audio file.) But when I use Dreamweaver and embed the same .swf file on the page I want it on, I get bupkis. The embedded object code all shows but no play button appears on web page.

Any guidance appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you for downloading our player. To make it work in Dreamweaver you'll have to give the SWF the same parameters we use in our HTML/JavaScript code in index.html.

Please watch this tutorial:

http://www.flabell.com/blog/1669/how-t...

It will help you understand what are those variables/parameters about.

When you place the SWF file in Dreamweaver it won't work because you didn't gave it any of the parameters it needs.

What you can do is copy our code in your Dreamweaver page, in Code view. Paste it in the HTML element you want the player to be displayed.

Hey! Great website and even greater components. I downloaded this to use on our non-profits website.

I wonder if its possible to edit the FLA files to maybe have a little text instead of the play our pause button.

I can open the file and I can even edit those library components. When I try to publish the file, it breaks. Any advice on input?

Hi,

We're glad you like our components and thanks for using our player on your website.

It crashes because most of our logic is written in the ActionScript code, so you have to be careful when you modify something in the FLA file.

You can replace the play/pause shapes in the mcPlay and mcPause movie clips(you'll find them in the library) with some text. But, again, you'll have be careful.

Thanks for your great flash development. I would like to use an mp3 player on my site, and am testing this one out. I think I would have the same problem though with any of your components.

My company use CMS Made Simple as their cms platform. I've installed the component as described, and have the message "In order to view this object you need Flash Player 9+ support!" I suspect my file paths are incorrect, although I've used absolute paths. Would you look at this if you have time, and let me know?

Thanks! Camille

Sorry to bother you. I solved it. I forgot to use the correct file path for the first js/swfobject.js path.

No problem. We're glad you found the problem. Enjoy the component!

Hi.
Tricky to get the urls working at first, but after using Safari I quickly found what I was doing wrong.
I was wondering, does this free toggle player support playing different files other than named sound.mp3?
I have tried and it seems that although it can find it via the url ok according to Safair active window, it doesn’t actually allow me to play it.
Could you shed some light on what this free toggle player can do out of the box and where to look if I need to modify it?
Thanks.
Some great stuff on here that I am sure to buy very soon.
Good work.

Hi,

We're glad you like what you see on Flabell. Unfortunately, this mp3 player plays only one song, the one that has the path specified as a flashvar, in the code you put in your website.

We hope you enjoy this simple component, anyway.

Hi

Thanks so much for your quick response.
Sorry I read back through my question and it wasn’t as clear as I would have liked.
What I mean is, does it support the ability to play one song on one web page, but another song on another web page?
Eg. mydomain.com/news can play sound1.mp3
but mydomain.com/work can play sound2.mp3
Is this possible if changing the flashvar for each page allowing me to play different songs on different pages?

If this isn’t possible what player allows this option and also allows full customising of the ui?
I am happy to buy one, as they are very reasonable price and everything looks very designed

Hi,

I'm sorry, I made a little mistake. The song path is defined in the XML file for this component, under this attribute:

                
soundPath = "content/audio/sound.mp3"

                

And, sure, you can set up multiple components on your website. They'll play different MP3 files, if you set up different XML files for each player.

If you're looking for a more sophisticated design on the player, these might be perfect for you:

http://www.flabell.com/flash/Simple-Fl...

http://www.flabell.com/flash/Basic-Fla...

Both of them are customizable. You can download the preview for the second, commercial player and see if it's right for you, before you decide.

Hi again

Thanks for your help. I managed to dynamically change the file path in the xml via a entry field in expression engine, making it really easy to change.
Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction. I am definitely going to be buying a few bits in the very near future to support you guys. Thanks again

Actually had some appending url issues with multiple files, so going to try out your other mp3 player recommendations.
I just thought I would post after my last response that the dynamic changes didn’t work out in the end for me, incase anyone else should read this thread, still I learnt some stuff along the way :)
Great for single file plays though.
Thx

For multiple MP3s on a player, you can look at these options:

We hope you'll find what you need.
