flash mp3 audio buttons ....
The following buttons are used within PHP-IPNMonitor as a method of previewing mp3 music. Note that it can only be used with mp3 formats as that is a restriction of Flash.
The flash object is placed on the web page as follows :
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/
swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="25" height="25" id="mp3button" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="mp3button_1.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="FlashVars"
value="theFile=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.withinweb.com%2Fdemographics%2Fmp3clips%2Fmp3_01.mp3" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed src="mp3button_1.swf"
FlashVars="theFile=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.withinweb.com%2Fdemographics%2Fmp3clips%2Fmp3_01.mp3" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="25" height="25" name="mp3button" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>
The extra parameter is :
<param name="FlashVars" value="theFile=file%2Emp3" />
where value contains the url of the mp3 file in url encoded format.
If the mp3 file is on the same server as the button, then you do not need to enter the full url.
Url encoding is described in http://www.albionresearch.com/misc/urlencode.php
Example, the url
http://www.test.com/mp3/file.mp3
becomes
http%3A%2F%2Fwww.test.com%2Fmp3%2Ffile.mp3
Note that the parameter 'wmode' has been set to transparent to allow the background of the page to show through.
