Need help please, with Mp3 Player in MX....

[toaster]

I have made and mp3 player that the design expands and contracts the mp3 player like "itunes". It also has a "drag" on it so you can move the player around.

When you open the player it plays the 1st song straight away, which is fine, BUT when u contract the player then re-open it plays its self again, but u are hearing both at the same time but one delayed. This also screws up the buttons as well.

Any ideas how I can make this wk the way it should?

I originally used a tutorial to get as far as making it work, my additions were the "drag" & "contract & expand".

Driving me nuts

Here is the fla.

[farafiro]

just add stopAllSounds() to your code when contract the player

here is the code where I think the problem is...."I think". I am not sure how to root the problem out. Still a novice, I am.

I have used so many diffrent tut's for this, but wish I took note who done what & from where.


CONTRACTED PLAYER

1st frame

on (press) {
gotoAndPlay(2);
}



EXPANDED PLAYER

Action Layer/Frame 2

radioVisible = false;


Music Layer/Frame 2

s = new Sound();
s.loadSound("my_music.mp3", true);
currentTrack="my_music";
stopped=false;
paused=false;
stop();

-------------------------------------BUTTONS------------------------------------------

PLAY BUTTON

2nd frame


//play button
on (release) {
//Play button.
//Sound is not playing and has not been paused
if (playing!=true) {
if (paused!=true) {
playing=true;
paused=false;
stopped=false;
myConditionText="playing";
s.start(0,0);
}
//Sound has been paused
if (paused==true) {
playing=true;
paused=false;
stopped=false
s.start(myMusicPosition,0);
myConditionText="playing";
s.onSoundComplete = function() {
s.start();
}
}
}
}


GRIP "on contracted player"

1st frame


on (press) {
startDrag(getProperty(_x, _y));
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
}

when its contracted I still want the user to still hear the selected mp3 playing. I just don't want it to play tha same song when you expand again.

Say for example:

1) when you first expand and the interface, "my_music.mp3" plays. This is cool:)

2) When the user contracts the player, they can still hear the selcted song playing. This is also cool.:cool:

3) when the user re-expand the interface it plays "my_music.mp3" again over the top the same song,"my_music.mp3". This is not cool.:mad:

So its like its repeating the action, but just don't know how to code it to make it stop repeating.

If you have a look at the fla, it might be a bit clearer. I suck at explaining things....:(

just like "win amp/itunes/quicktime or real player interfaces" when you minimize the player, it still plays, when you expand the there are no interruptions of music play, unles you pause or stop.

I have been trough many mp3 tutorials & search many forums...just not one that will help fix my prob.

desperately need help:(
