Flash MP3

Both "MP3 Is Playing" and "MP3 Is Not Playing" still don't work on the latest version, at least, in my case.

Also, when you create one mp3 object in each frame, they are kinda global, since it always plays the first loaded song even if you specify a different song to load.

I can't get this to work... Can anyone tell me how / where they uploaded their mp3?

Nevermind, I did get it to work. I just wasn't building the application...

Hi StephenL,

Thank you for this extension. I have tried the extension in order to choose and play an mp3 file from a list. The first time I choose the file from the list it plays with no problem but if the file has ended playing or if I want to choose another file to play, it does not play the file. In other words it only plays one file. Is there any way this can be fixed?

With Regards

Stephen,
I was wondering if Flash MP3 normalised the volume to some kind of arbitrary maximum? No matter how quiet I mix my source MP3, it is always louder than I want it to be. This buries my sounds in the background. Because there's no volume control on Flash MP3, there's no work around.

I don't want to increase my Sound FX volumes because I believe flash games shouldn't unexpectedly blast through peoples speakers at maximum volume.

Also, I noticed a bug with the looping. I have a 12 minute music file and the loop actually just loops to a position of about 10 mins, repeating the last couple of minutes over and over.

Flash MP3 was a rushed extension for a friend. I will look it over when I get some free time, and check into these issues. :)

Thanks, I'd appreciate any work you do on this extension. It's one of the most useful flash extensions so it's a shame it's such a low priority.

Note: I managed to work-around the loop issue by setting the music to loop 99 times.

Actually it's skipping to random spots in the file after 1 or 2 play throughs. I have a...

MP3 is not playing
- Play

...event. Not sure if that's the source of the problem. It may also be after the player pauses then resumes the music, it may be loop back to the pause spot, not the start of the MP3 file.

Thanks for your efforts with this extension Stephen, it allowed me to release my game 'Orb' at a reasonable filesize.

Currently The Advanced Flash Sound extension has more functionally (including volume control) so this should now be obsolete. You shouldn't need to worry about fixing the aforementioned issues.

I just tried downloading it from the Fusion Wiki and got an error of "You do not have permission to download this attachment."

It won't let me edit the wiki right now, but here is the download:
