Simple audio player using php and not XML?

[pianoman993]

Hello, just have a short and simple question. Is there such a thing as a flash audio (mp3) player than can load an external sound file through javascript or php instead of loading an XML playlist?

 

Thanks for any help in advance,

Yes.

 

You will need to save your info in a database would be the best way.

 

You will want to save:

- file location

- an id number

- any other info you would like

 

then using flash, you will need to make a call to a php page calling for an ID number, which will search your database for the file. and output a get string like so:

 

songURL=/songs/myfile.mp3&songID=2

 

then in your flash you can use some flash functions to load the song file.

Thank you for your response. What you say makes good sense, however, I am a complete novice in the area of actionscript 3.0 and will need to get familiar with that area of programming in order to accomplish this mp3 player. Do you have any suggestions on any tutorials I can browse in order to understand how actionscript and php can "talk" to each each other?

 

Again, thanks
