Re: [Flashcoders] Audio Player play/pause state: PLEASE HELP
Thanks Karl, the player script you suggested worked for me Thanks Sidney for suggesting shared Objects, that resolved my other issue of maintaining player play/pause state.

Or have your HTML pages load in an Iframe and have the audio player sitting outside that Iframe? Then you stay at one page while still loading your other HTML and your player stays put. :) Just a thought. There is a way to send a variable in the URL too. Something like: http://website.com/page.html?variable=value Then have a script that reads that value back to the player. I think this may be the hard way though.

Re: [Flashcoders] Audio Player play/pause state: PLEASE HELP
Here you go.. :)
//var loopTune:Sound = new Sound(); You can change this variable to
what ever you have as the new Sound()
var soundPosition:Number = 0;
function stopPlaying() {
loopTune.stop();
musicPlays = false;
return (musicPlays);
}
function startPlaying() {
if (musicPlays == false) {
musicPlays = true;
loopTune.start(soundPosition, 0);
}
return (musicPlays);
}
function pausePlaying() {
if (this.loopTune.position 0) {
soundPosition = loopTune.position / 1000;
}
stopPlaying();
}
/*-
Start/Stop Song Button Script

function playStop() {
if (musicPlays == true) {
pausePlaying();
} else if (musicPlays == false) {
startPlaying();
}
}

Hi Rajiv, Take a close look at the SharedObject, this is basicaaly a Flash cookie written on the users side and you can read it out when ever you need.

Re: [Flashcoders] Audio Player play/pause state: PLEASE HELP
That is AS2 and goes inside your flash file along with the button to play and pause.. BTW Not sure how or if it works with AS3 if that is what your programing with.

Hi Karl, Thanks a lot for help. I am using AS2.0 only. But this solves half of the problem. Suppose if I navigate away from this page to some other page having same player embedded. Now how player will recognize that user has paused it in previous page? That means I have to send some variable out to web page when user pauses it. Any idea?
