What actionscript do I need to add to have a user click on a button symbol to play a 30 second music clip (mp3 file) in Flash MX 2004?

[nomad]

what version of flash are you using.
and do you want to stream the mp3 clip or have it embed in flash.

Here is the code you need for AS3 to be able to play a mp3 file when a button is clicked

Lets say we have a button on the stage called "myButton_btn"

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. myButton_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonIsClicked);
2.  
3. function buttonIsClicked(event:Event):void
4. {
5. var sndcontext:SoundLoaderContext = new SoundLoaderContext(4000);
6. var snd:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("http://www.yourdomain.com/yoursound.mp3"), sndcontext);
7. var sndchannel:SoundChannel = snd.play(0,1000);
8. sndchannel.soundTransform = new SoundTransform(0.2, 1);
9. }
10.  

And here are details for this script

SoundLoaderContext(4000) is the limit of your buffer. This means that your sound must be buffered at least 4000 milliseconds (4 seconds) to be played.

snd.play(0,1000) shows how many times your music should be played

SoundTransform(0.2, 1) the fist number shows the volume of your sound and the second one shows the balance on your speakers . Between -1 and 1 for left and right balance on your speakers

Hope it helps

Good luck
