omedia hi, great player, works well, except i would like to either add more than one tune on a page, or a play list, but some it only allows one song per page, am i doing something wrong?
Oct 15 2009

m40 author you can have as many instances of the player on a page as needed. the following example should help you figure out how it works: http://examples.flashstall.com/a3-multiple-player-instances/
Oct 19 2009

m40 author having one instance of the player play multiple tracks can easily be achieved through javascript. here's an example: http://examples.flashstall.com/a3-playlist/

omedia thank you

logcabinfever Okay, are there any specials instructions for getting this into my webpage? I found it through Adobe Extensions and assumed it would load like most of their extensions. Any help would be appreciated

Nov 18 2009

pjobin Any way to play one track after another, automatically? I used the example of using JavaScript to change tracks, but how about the ability to play several songs in a row.
Nov 22 2009

m40 author No, playlists are not supported in the current version of the player.

Nov 27 2009

m40 author The download link is temporarily down. You can still however use the code generator (link in the review) to embed the player into your page.

BusyB When I put multiple instances of the player on a page, one player tries to play all the songs
Dec 7 2009

m40 author You're probably using the same div tag for all instances. You can see a working example at http://examples.flashstall.com/a3-multiple-player-instances/ and use the source code of that page.

BusyB Thank you for answering. I was working with it and figured it out. Here is the page: http://www.yesteryearssounds.com/product.php

colorsofindia I want to modify the color of the thumb when mouse is not over. I wish to obtain color5 when mouse is over and the actual color (less darkthan track's color) when mouse is not over. What is the name of the file (.as ?) concerning please ? Thanks.
Dec 9 2009

m40 author The color in question is a color3 derivative and it can't be set through the properties. You can set it, however, from the source code. A3Player.as -> line 480. It goes playhead.color = ...

kingbugis I have generated the flashplayer code but how i am going to upload my mp3 song and embeded to the by player with loop and auto start play. Thanks
Dec 10 2009

colorsofindia I'm trying to drive your player through javascript using your code. How can I create my .js file (similar to "swfobject_v210.js") and my .swf file (I changed playhead.colors in A3Player.as) ? Thanks
Dec 14 2009

m40 author You can use swfobject.js from http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/ As to the .swf file - are you asking how to compile your own .swf based on the modified code?
Dec 14 2009

colorsofindia Yes. Is the file to compile in /usages examples/actionscript project/project/a3_example_actionscript_project/src ? I don't know how to compile the .as file (I use flash CS4 demo). Thanks
Dec 15 2009

m40 author Please, redownload the file and find the "source" folder. It contains the classes of the player and a .fla file that you can use to compile the player in Flash.
Dec 21 2009

unclesandwitch Hello, I have downloaded the player to use with Flash. I put it in my components folder, but it is not showing up. Can you tell me how to use this in Flash? Thanks.
Dec 20 2009

m40 author Hi, please download the file again. Now a new "flash component" usage example is included. It should help you figure out how to use the component in flash projects. If you have further questions, let me know

kevinpolk88 Hi, when I download the zip file after purchasing (on a Mac), I am unable to open the zip file with Stuffit. "Operation not permitted" error. Any ideas? Thanks.

m40 author I sent you an email. I was wondering if you got it to work.

chillertom Hi, is it possible to align the different instances of the player with px instead of

. And how can i align the text left? THX
Jan 21 2010

m40 author No, you can't align the text / title through the properties of the player.

mentr Hi, This works great in my page when viewed with Firefox but not IE.x. The page loads but not the players. Appreciate any feedback on this. I really like the player...simple and clean lines good functionality. Thx

topgdipro Hi. Paid for file. Where is download link? Thanks
Feb 14 2010

m40 author The site has been moving towards a new version and it lacks a few elements. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Feb 15 2010

topgdipro I've located it.
Feb 14 2010

topgdipro Great application. How do I display player timer without mouseover in same color as default? Thanks.
Feb 14 2010

m40 author The player hides the timer on mouse out so that it doesn't interfere with the title. To modify this behavior you need to edit the source code of the player and recompile.
Feb 15 2010

topgdipro After further review, it's perfect for our our project at http://www.resmarketing.ws/resources/multimedia/audio.php By the way, can you offer a repeat customer discount for purchase of FLV player?
Feb 15 2010

m40 author Looks great! As to the discount, I can't do that as the FLV player is being sold by another author.
Feb 16 2010

pxmedia I purchased this but, now have now idea how to get it to work in my FLA slide show? Why no instructions?
Mar 14 2010

m40 author Give me one day. I'll send you a link to the docs for the player.
Mar 15 2010

pxmedia Thank you, that would be nice. here is the clients site I need it to work in. I just added the MP3 in a layer for now. Is there a setting to loop as well? http://www.normansilvermandiamonds.com/
