Have you ever wanted to create your own MP3 player using Flash CS4?

This series of tutorials hosted by Mark Lassoff from LearnToProgram.TV will show you how. In this first two-part video, the groundwork is laid for a completely functional MP3 player. Mark will help you set up the project in Flash CS4, adjust the properties of the stage, create an instance of a button component and write the necessary Actionscript 3.0 to make the whole thing work.

This is a special preview of the first video of this multipart series. If you'd like to view the rest of the videos-- They are/will be available at LearnToProgram.tv.

This is a great opportunity to learn how to make a complex Flash CS4 movie that depends on Actionscript 3.0's sound objects. If you watch the whole series, in the end you will be able to create an MP3 player in Flash that has a volume control, pan control, shows ID3 tags, the time a song has been playing and lets the user select between several available MP3s.

Only this special preview video will be freely available on Youtube. For the entire series please visit LearnToProgram.tv!

This is part one of two.

Hello there, ive always worked with Illustrator, Photoshop and Dreamweaver and next on my list is Flash. I gotta say your tutorials are awesome, thanks for taking the time to post them.

I have a problem with my flash i think. Ive done everything how you did it, up untill the button. got a really sweet skin made with photoshop. but i just can't seem to put an action on a button like you do it.. Is there something wrong with my version? tried to google it but nothing, i hope you can help me out.

Can this work on Cs3?

[LearnToProgramDotTV]

@sandykoong Yes, All the code should work in Adobe Flash CS3 IF you select an Actionscript 3 project when you start.

you have a good voice. u should be an announcer or something. or a movie narrator or for commercials. Just the right amount of bass.
