Mp3 Player

So look over there. No, over there, right above the calendar. Not the most beautiful creature but hey, it works...

Kind of. Its not showing up in IE. So if you're using IE, you won't see anything new in the Red Chuck links bar, but if you're using Safari or Firefox, its party time!

First, a big thanks to the Gurus Network tutorial. Lots and lots of code but it's all well explained. Also I found Steve's "Flash MX MP3 Player" tutorial discussion thread extremely helpful, especially Brian's post on page 9 concerning Movable Type.

Really the only major obstacle (other than IE) that I encountered was getting the player to successfully load the mp3s from xml. Somehow a directory change made that work.

Of course I'm writing all this without checking the site from outside this LAN. I'll probably go home and find that none of this is working at all.

So now I just gotta fill it up with moods. And in case you were wondering, The Kung Pao Groove is the most recent Garageband dish.
