before you go to all that trouble, make sure you're clicking the link above, and choosing "Save file as..." to save it. Hope that helps!

i did that, but for some reason its not recognizing the file...

[ryanmeyersmusic]

it shouldn't take that long to follow that little tutorial. or shoot me an e-mail and i can try e-mailing the source FLA to you...

[ryanmeyersmusic]

also, try one more time. i just re-upped in a "more compatible" format, according to macromedia...

[MC Just]

what program are you using?

[ryanmeyersmusic]

FlashMXProfessional (2004, version 7.2)

[ninjakyle]

oh snap
it works now

Ryan, you are officially "the man"

I think you should change your name to Ryan "the man" Meyers

I think I am going to see if I can add a button so it would then be
play, pause, forward, reverse and "denis"

thanks for the help, I will say a special prayer for you today

ah ok im using flash 5....

[ryanmeyersmusic]

spread some love, maybe buy a cd, and enjoy

Sorry, Just, it uses a lot of ActionScript 2.0 which started with MX. You could download the 30-day trial just to build the player from. I think you ought to be able to make it happen in that 30-day window...
