Fairly new to the Flash game...
Would like to know how this guy links his music the way he does... so it just plays w/out pulling up any client player.

probably loading an external swf into his flash movie.
not terribly difficult to do really.

could be loaded via an XML playlist.. such as you can find on http://www.flashcomponents.net
just external mp3's loading in via XML.

he made a meida player.
its kinda involved but you can find tutorials online through the macromedia site or other flash resources. you have to know a good amount of action scripting to tackle this one. theres hundreds of ways to set this up. i've used many different media players myself.
try searching for meida player, flash jukebox , music player, flash radio, etc.
sometimes people set it up to its very dynamic and they can update it and add without touching the flash and just dropping info in a little database.
no one can explain how exactly to make one and make it work through your thread though. theres too much to type out and i doubt someone will take the time to type it all out.
better question is ask for some good resources that will take you through tutorials.
or you can try getting a book. i tend to have stuff stick more when i read it in a real book rather than on the internet.

Hey
We used XML files. And the 'Sound Object' in Flash. To be honest we got this wizkid from South Africa to help us so we didnt do everything. But this particular aspect of the site isnt difficult. Go to http://flashkit.com and do a search for Sound Objects. Then download the movies and analyse them, tweek them see how they do it. It's the best way to learn when you are new in the game.Good luck
