Hi does anyone have a flash/xml jukebox .fla they could send me? I need to make one for a client real soon and this would be the best way for me to learn how. any web site on how to make an XML/flash jukebox would be cool too. something like this integratedmediadevelopment.com

I have sure... can I give it to you? You must be joking...Give your client my number and I'll give you a referral fee. Joker.

I'm making it for free it's for a band that is just starting out. I just wanted to help them out with a cool looking flash site. it's no joke

just make an XML file with description, song title, band name and mp3 location.
Use the XML object to parse the information and turn it to an array.
Create a new sound object.
retrieve the information with an onPress(?) action to show the title and description, and to load the refering mp3 into the sound object.
these is the main stuff necessary for such endeavour.

unfittoprint has got it! it's actually quite easy once you get the hang of it. it should load external .mp3 files. you might want to ask this guy: http://www.thelibraryusa.com/

PS, since you will be loading external .mp3's you will have better quality sounding audio than you would if you were to put them into your Flash module. ;)

there was this one Indian dude's site that explained it better than anyone, but I had it saved on a lost HD.

yeah I have seen a web site totorials on the XML Flash jukebox but none were much help to me. I was hopping some who has made one could send me a FLA file with the basic stuff in it. I really like jukebox these kids make http://www.kurtnoble.com/

Brother, it's nice that you like those Flash Players that Kurt Noble et all produce, I did too and like most developers I set out to study who I could it myself.
Yes I did ask for a few pointers when i was starting out coding the ActionScript, but I never had the audacity to ask for someones' source code.
If you want to go ahead and study this technology I'm sure you will get help - just as I did (search the threads).
Thank you.

Man if you can't work it out from what people have told you in this thread you're not ever gonna work it out.
Try using YOUR brain and stop being a lazy motherfucker.

I trade source code with everyone. I have no problem giving out my stuff (as little as that might be) I mean I study the hell out of the code for action scripts, php, etc.. but I'm a bit of dumb dillweed so that's why I'm here asking for help. Sorry if I may offend you I didn't mean too.
plus I found this if anyone wants help with those damn Audio Spectrum analyser

this is exactly what you are looking for.
http://www.flashkit.com/movies/S…
it has every option you could want in a jukebox.
if that link doesn't work search for "XML Playlist and skinning" at FlashKit

haven't you found that component i posted?
at least try the possibilities of it, and see how you can extend it to your needs.
- effour0
I actually downloaded that component set. really good stuff but it has some little bugs that i tried playing with yuesterday.
like it doesn't start playing right away... you always have to press play even when you switch tracks. his forum has got some help but the one I just posted beats all of the mp3 players i have downlaoded
