Hi I used the step in Chapter 2 for creating a simple flash audio player and it all seems to work fine except....

When anyone tries to access the site and load the page with the flash player it asks them for my idisk username and password.

I have the SFPSource and Mp3 on my idisk, should i put them in my "public" folder to allow access ??

Thanks..keep up good work !!

Hi,

please don't send me private messages. It's enough to post the question on the forum.

It shouldn't be necessary to put the files in the Public folder. Try posting the code you entered in the HTML Snippet here for me to have a look at it and try to find out the reason why it doesn't work.

Also please specify whether you created the MP3 file or you bought it from iTunes or other stores.

Regards,
Cédric

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

Since i posted this i put SFPSource and MP3 into my public folder and seem to work, but don't really want them there !

The songs were downloaded as ACC and converted into MP3 through Itunes.

Steve...PS Sorry about the PM

No problem...

May I ask you why you used
http://idisk.mac.com
in the URLs?

By using http://idisk.mac.com you're prompted for the password. Instead you must use http://web.me.com

Also you don't seem to have uploaded all the files (or don't have uploaded them to the right location iDisk/Web/Sites/ or have a permission issue) since
http://web.me.com/bigburger/SFPSource/player.swf
gives a Not found error.

Regards,
Cédric

I'm, glad you got it to work!

No QuickTime. The future is called HTML5 which allows people to play audio and video without having any plugin installed (neither Flash nor QuickTime nor anything else). However InternetExplorer currently does not support HTML5... What a surprise, huh?! ;)

I think the future isn't here yet...

Regards,
Cédric

Hi Cédric

Thanks so much for your help with iWeb.

I'm attempting to get the simple flash player to work, too.

I've uploaded the "SFPSource" folder to the public_html folder of the root of my domain name (which is contained in the public_html folder of the root of my master domain name - I can host multiple domains/sites under my one account).

I've put my mp3s into a folder entitled "meditations" and have uploaded this folder to the root of my domain name (contained in the public_html folder of the root of my master domain name).

I have set up the flash player 8 times, entering the code on my site as follows (and changing the number values for audioplayer and playerID as instructed):

<script language="JavaScript" src="http://denisestar.com/SFPSource/audio-player.js"></script>
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://denisestar.com/SFPSource/player.swf" id="audioplayer1" height="24" width="290">
<param name="movie" value="http://denisestar.com/SFPSource/player.swf">
<param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=1&amp;autostart=no&amp;soundFile=http://denisestar.com/meditations/healinglove.mp3">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="menu" value="false">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
</object>

The first two mp3s play, but the other six show the message: "Error loading file"

I've purchased 1 track through a music site, 5 tracks through another site (two of which work and 3 don't) and another I downloaded from YouTube. (I've password protected my site because the content is for my use only.)

What might be the trouble?

Best wishes
Denise
