MP3 Player with errors

Hi Gals/Guys

I made a MP3 player pub that gets this error " can't play <MP3_1>" now the funny thing is that it works perfect when i test it threw OPUS 6 but when i try and publish it i get that error and then it doesn't work .

1 - i use library search to get mp3 file

2 - i save the search as a vaiable <MP3_1>

3 i have a button with an action to PLAY <MP3_1>

Did i do somehting wrong here ?

Thank for having a look

Al

I believe you probably get an error when you publish, because it can't find the file referenced by variable MP3_1??

here is one way which works:-

attach a script to the button which calls a function PlayIt()

and the function is

Code:

function PlayIt()
{
   var MP_2=OpenSound(MP_1)
   MP_2.Play()
}

or you could simply attach the bit in the function to the button script

Code:

var MP_2=OpenSound(MP_1)
   MP_2.Play()

but I always think functions are better, because they are re-usable---personal choice.

Hi,
Sorry if I have confused you.....
You don't need to rename your variables.. when I tried it, I meant to type MP3_1, but mis-typed and my variable was MP_1 :-)

.

I have attached a pub with two buttons and a text box--the GET button opens the file browse and saves the file name to the MP3_1 variable, the second button PLAY has a two line script attached,

Code:

var MyMP3=OpenSound(MP3_1)
   MyMP3.Play()

the first line creates a variable called MyMP3 and this holds the command to open the file MP3_1

the second line then plays the file.

I'm not sure how you are configuring your dual player?? can you attach what you are trying to do, then I could have a look
