I found a bug. The volume and the pause/play not works correctly. For example turn down the volume to minimum, press pause then press play. Do u hear it?

Also, I am using this player as a separate movie on my SWF. It remains stationary on the bottom of the page, while the rest of the page is interactive. When the file opens up everything is fine. But, when I click a button (and change frames), the buttons and text get slightly distorted. It’s like they move slightly. Any idea why this is happening?

I love this player too! But, I am having one small problem. I have loaded it onto my site, and I click play. Everything will play fine. If I click FWD, it will skip to the next song just fine. But, when I click FWD to go to the third song, it won’t play. It will only play 2 files at the most before it stops playing. I have checked my XML file, and all of the code is correct. Any tips?

I was wondering if anyone could help with this:

If you have mp3s in this jukebox that are quite larger (say 3mb) and you decide to click next song before the mp3 has fully loaded the file still loads in the background. If you pressed next again all three files would be downloading. Is there a way to stop the first song from completing its loading when you press next?

I figured out how to load the player stopped on the first song. duh. well i’m learning…

I just copied the code from the stop btn section and dropped it in up top after the load section:

pos = sc.position;
sc.stop();
songPlaying = false;
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playSong);

Great little player — I’ve been struggling with only one little thing though! Once the list loads, how do I change the autoPlay to no! I’d like the it to be ready to go, but just not start playing automatically.

Heh. Never mind. Operator error.

I’m heartbroken. This is precisely what I was looking for - and thank you for doing this, Craig - but it would seem that, ah, it’s a Mac .fla. And I’m on Windows. Anyone have any advice?
