We create two audio players: one using audio embedded in a Flash file, the other loading MP3 files.

Streaming audio loader

• Demo
• Project ZIP (916 KB)

We import the audio to the timeline in a Flash file and extend our reusable loader so that it also has play, pause, rewind and a scrub thumb that controls the audio Flash file (this becomes our media controller). We’ve also got a file with subtitles that go with it. This is controlled by a main Flash file that loads these files as requested by the user.

MP3 audio loader

• Demo
• Project ZIP (3.75 MB)

We modify the streaming audio loader so that it can deal with external MP3 files.
