Media List MP3 Player

Description: This tutorial will show you how to create an MP3 player with the Media List Flash Component, the Image Loader Flash Component, and the MP3 player Flash Component.
Part I - The Completed Project
Note: We've noticed that sometimes the progress bar in this tutorial acts a little flaky. We think this is because the MP3 player starts playing the MP3 file when the buffer time is met, and Flash may not know exactly how long the file is at that point. It's not a major bug, but you can choose whether to use the progress bar or not.
To get started, here is all of the code and an example of what we are going to build. More advanced users may only need to look at this example, while others might want to read below where I will go through the code and what each part of it does. I am using the Media List Component, the IMG Loader Component (I used the Stretch one here, but you could use any of them), and the Simple MP3 Player Component to build this application.
Part II - Setting Up the File
This is a pretty complicated file setup, so I am providing the framework that I used here. This file doesn't contain any of the components, but does have all of the code and everything else that I used. (If you have purchased all of the components required and want the full example, let us know.)
mp3_player_framework.fla (37KB)
Basically, in addition to the components:
Part III - Media List XML
Now it is time to set up the links to your images and MP3 files using Media List XML. Check out the sample XML file for help on how XML should be formatted, etc. Notice that I am passing 2 items in the data parameter (image path and mp3 path) comma delimited.
Once you have created your XML, add the XML path to the contentXML property in the Media List parameters. For the sample file:
contentXML:http://www.afcomponents.com/components/media_list/mp3_data.xml
Part IV - The Code
Finally, let's step through the code.
This is just setting the stage mode so that it won't scale.
Set the initial _xscale of the progressBar_mc to zero. It will be scaled up as the MP3 Player plays to indicate progress.
These are just gradient fill styles for the Media List.
Ok, here I listen for the Media List to finish loading (CONTENT_LOAD_COMPLETE event) and load the image for the first item in the list. (Note: Later, I will check for the image to finish loading and then play the MP3 file.) One thing to note here is that I take the data property of my selected item object and split it into an array. This is because I stored both the image path and the MP3 path in the data property.
Here, I begin loading an item when it is clicked in the Media List (ITEM_ON_RELEASE event.) At the top of the handler function, I reset a bunch of stuff, assuming an item might already be playing. I stop the player, set the progress bar back to zero, reset the time display, show the play button (in case the player was paused when a user clicked an item,) then show my buffering message. The second part of the handler function works just like the function above that loads the first item.
Here, I listen for the image to finish loading into the IMG Loader (TRANSITION_END event,) and then load and play the MP3 file. At the top, I check if the MP3 File is already loaded by comparing the path of the file the user wants to play to each path already loaded. If it is, I simply jump to that file and play it (myPlayer.dspItemNum().) If it isn't, I load the new file and then jump to the last file and play it (myPlayer.dspItemNum(myPlayer.getTotalItems()).)
This part of the code handles many things. Here, I listen for the player's play time to be updated (time event) and do three different things. First, I hide the buffering message, because the player has started. Second, I update the time display (on a side note, I just kind of came up with this time formatting stuff using Flash's Math.floor. If anyone knows a better method, please let me know. Maybe there is a more standard "formatSeconds" function floating around out there.) Third, we update the scale of the progress bar as the MP3 file plays. (I also check if the progress bar is at 99% and just set it to 100% to avoid having it not fill in all the way. Sometimes the time event doesn't get fired for the last second.)
Finally, I just handle the pause and play buttons.
That's about it! If you have any comments, suggestions, or examples, etc you can post on the forum or send me an email matt at afcomponents dot com (wigz). Enjoy!

- A Button "PlayBtn" with an instance name "play_btn" to play the MP3
- A Button "PauseBtn" with an instance name "pause_btn" to pause the MP3
- A MovieClip "ProgressBar" with an instance name "progressBar_mc" to show MP3 playing progress
- A Dynamic TextField with an instance name "time_txt" to show playback time (Set the default value to "00:00")

This part of the code handles many things. Here, I listen for the player's play time to be updated (time event) and do three different things. First, I hide the buffering message, because the player has started. Second, I update the time display (on a side note, I just kind of came up with this time formatting stuff using Flash's Math.floor. If anyone knows a better method, please let me know. Maybe there is a more standard "formatSeconds" function floating around out there.) Third, we update the scale of the progress bar as the MP3 file plays. (I also check if the progress bar is at 99% and just set it to 100% to avoid having it not fill in all the way. Sometimes the time event doesn't get fired for the last second.)
// play/pause
// hide play button
play_btn._visible = false;
// pause
pause_btn.onRelease = function() {
pause_btn._visible = false;
play_btn._visible = true;
myPlayer.pause();
}
// play
play_btn.onRelease = function() {
play_btn._visible = false;
pause_btn._visible = true;
myPlayer.play();
}
// hide play button
play_btn._visible = false;
// pause
pause_btn.onRelease = function() {
pause_btn._visible = false;
play_btn._visible = true;
myPlayer.pause();
}
// play
play_btn.onRelease = function() {
play_btn._visible = false;
pause_btn._visible = true;
myPlayer.play();
}
Finally, I just handle the pause and play buttons.
