Single button mp3 player
------------------------

Files :

mp3button_1.swf
mp3button_2.swf
mp3button_3.swf


Note that it is compiled for Flash 6 onwards so requires Flash 6 player or better.  The flash fla is in Flash CS3 but does not use any 
Action Script 3.

This is a relativly simple mp3 player which might be used for either playing a full mp3 or previewing an mp3.

The flash object is placed on the web page as follows :


<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="25" height="25" id="mp3button" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="mp3button.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="FlashVars" value="theFile=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.withinweb.com%2Fdemographics%2Fmp3clips%2Fmp3_01.mp3" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed src="mp3button.swf" FlashVars="theFile=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.withinweb.com%2Fdemographics%2Fmp3clips%2Fmp3_01.mp3" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="25" height="25" name="mp3button" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>


The extra parameter is <param name="FlashVars" value="theFile=file%2Emp3" /> where value contains the url of the mp3 file in url encoded format.

If the mp3 file is on the same server as the button, then you do not need to enter the full url.  

Url encoding is described in http://www.albionresearch.com/misc/urlencode.php

Example, the url http://www.test.com/mp3/file.mp3 becomes http%3A%2F%2Fwww.test.com%2Fmp3%2Ffile.mp3

There are actually a number of versions of the mp3 previewer - they are the same except that they have slightly different colours.  Just change the name to mp3previewer.swfst rename which ever you want to mp3button.swf
