Sound player basic tutorials

You can easily change or remove the opening sound or music from the intro page. The intro plays an MP3 file, which can be deleted, or replaced:

Change the MP3 sound file

  • find a new MP3 file ( we suggest www.flashkit.com/loops )
  • rename the new file as music1.mp3
  • open you web
  • open the flash folder
  • drag the new music1.mp3 file into the flash/music folder to over write the original

*Tips* any sound file you download will probably be a reasonable size as it is. Music files should really not exceed 300kb or it will take too long to load and play. If you plan on using an MP3 ripped from a CD, or downloaded from the internet beware that most of these MP3's are 5-6 megabytes in file size and will take a long time to load.

Add additional MP3 sound file

You can edit the music.xml file so it plays multiple songs.

  • open your web
  • open your flash folder
  • open the music.xml file
  • select (line3) and copy (CTRL+C)

 <sound src="flash/music/music1.mp3" pageURL="" stream="true"></sound>

  • place your cursor at the end of this line and press ENTER on your keyboard ONCE
  • press (CTRL+V) to 'paste' the line of code you just copied
  • now edit the pasted line to display the name of your additional sound files:

change (music1.mp3) in the second pasted line of code, to match the file name of your new sound file

**Tips**

  • always use lower case when naming your sound file
  • use ONLY letter and number (NO PUNCTUATION)
  • always use a " - " (hyphen) or an " _ " (underscore) to join two or more words in the file name

Remove sound player

  • open the flash folder
  • open the music folder
  • delete or rename the music1.mp3 file
