    Hi there, I'm in the process of designing a new website and want to include a simple flashed basic music player for the corner of the screen, nothing fancy, just one background song with a flash button for stop/start. Now I am familiar with Flash as I've had it on my computer since I've had it, I'm very familar with programming as I know a few languages. The thing is, I find taking the initial plunge with Flash & ActionScript impossible! Anyone know how I can learn a basic amount of Flash to help myself make a simple music player? (I've already got books in Flash, Flash for dummies, Flash MX accelerated guide - both absolutely **** and no help at all)

    Hi laguna, to make a flash media player like the one you require is not as hard as it seems. Create two buttons, stop and play.

    The actionscript on the stop button would be:

    on (release){
    unloadmovienum("target_audio");
    }

    The actionscript on the play button would be:

    on (release){
    loadmovienum("soundfile.swf", "target_audio");
    }

    Now create a movie clip and drag it onto the main stage, give it an instance name of "target_audio" and thats it in a nutshell.
