Question about embedded audio

[jjjones]

Can someone tell me if there are any freeware embedded audio players available? I need an audio player that I can put on a website that will allow people to click a button and play the audio (or stop or pause) MP3 format. I have seen several of these players but I believe they are proprietary and I want to be able to distribute it. Here is an example of the type of player I am talking about. (The player is on the top right of this page):

Welcome to FlashAdvisor!

I know of all different types of audio players, but it depends just what you are looking for. Flash? Non flash? If flash, did you want just a plain and simple one, just buttons, would you like a visualization? Please describe what you are looking for exactly!

The example you linked to, is just a simple flash film with a mp3 linked from the library, and 2 buttons.
These are the basics (and I mean the basics)

//this goes on frame 1 of the main timeline
//tell it to stop 
stop();
//make a sound object
mySound = new Sound (this)
//attach a sound from the library to it
mySound.attachSound("mySong");

thats our sound attached we just need to start it now.
to do this we make a button and give it the instance name of play_btn (in the properties on the left)
to start the song playing we say:

this.play_btn.onRelease(){
mySound.start();
}

similarly we can tell the sound to stop by placing the following code on

this.play_btn.onRelease(){
mySound.stop();
}

hope that gets you started, if you want to pause the sound it gets quite complicated....and I've no flash at the mo, to check it b4 giving it you.

Taff, it'd be better to load dynamically to keep the filesize down. So instead of

mySound.attachSound("mySong");

Use

mySound.loadSound("mySong.mp3");
