[kirksydney]

This tutorial is for the Mp3 Flash Player.

REMEMBER:
xml file = your songs and its urls..
swf file = your player


Before beginning make sure you have already done the following:

1. Chosen a host for all your files. i suggest u use http://www.geocities.com . it is great in hosting swf and xml files..


2. Chosen a Player skin, that is your swf file. To find cool skins for your player click dis one http://forum.myspace.com/index.cfm?f...upID=101829019 To get the swf file, put your mouse over the skin you want, right click then click save target as or save link as..

3. Uploaded your mp3 files onto a host. You will need the urls for them for the following code.

4. Copy and paste this xml playlist code into Notepad.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<player showDisplay="yes" showPlaylist="yes" autoStart="yes">
<song title="song title" path="http://your.mp3" />
<song title="song title" path="http://your.mp3" />
<song title="song title" path="http://your.mp3" />
<song title="song title" path="http://your.mp3" />
<song title="song title" path="http://your.mp3" />
</player>

Notes:

showDisplay:
yes to show the player top, will show controls.
no to not show it, will not show controls.

showPlaylist:
yes to show the player bottom, will show playlist.
no to not show it, will not show playlist.

autoStart:
yes to have the player start playing automatically,
no to not have it have start playing.
random to have the songs play in a "shuffle" like manner.

Once you're done editing the xml playlist code in notepad save the code ending in .xml [ ex: myplaylist.xml ]


Next upload both your xml file and swf file (player skin) onto the same host.
Grab the url's for both the xml and swf files, replace it from d colored orange text below.

Then place the code into your profile:

<embed src="http://url_to_your_player.swf" menu="false" quality="high" width="300" height="320" name="index" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="playList=http://url_to_xml_file/mp3playlist.xml&ShowEQ=1&initVol=100" wmode="transparent"></embed>

dats it!

Okay read and follow this carefully . . .

1. Copy the xml format i provided you above.
2. Edit the necessary contents (song titles and urls).
3. Once finished editing, click FILE den click SAVE AS.
4. In saving, rename the file with extension of .xml in the end. (ex: invisibleme.xml)
5. Upload this xml file, together with your swf file in geocities.
6. There you can get the xml and swf files urls, replace it on the code i posted above.

That's it. If you still can't make it right, just come back here.
