mp3 player with 3 listboxes and category/subcategory

[waterox]

Hi,

I am trying to hack this mp3 player so that it displays 3 levels of hierarchy instead of 2. Check out the current player here http://www.yanwhite.co m/staging/GetGoodMusic/music.htm

Currently it has kind of 3 levels, but using 2 buttons for the top level.
I want all 3 as list boxes. So that listbox1 has main categories, listbox2 displays subcategories and listbox3 displays the tracks.

Here is the actionscript..

//setting it up
//change path to your own
path = "http://billwatson2.no-ip.info/public/flash/music/";
loadBB.setLabel ("By Mood");
loadB.setLabel( "By Genre");
pause.setLabel( "Pause");
playB.setLabel( "Play");
pause.setEnable d(false);
playB.setEnable d(false);
//constucting menu system
//next few functions just allow 1 listbox to chat to the other
function Labels() {
this.lab = new Array(0);
this.dat = new Array(0);
}
Labels.prototyp e.addLabel = function(name, value) {
this.lab.push(n ame);
this.dat.push(v alue);
};
Labels.prototyp e.change = function(obj) {
var i;
obj.removeAll() ;
for (i=0; i<this.dat.leng th; i++) {
obj.addItem(thi s.lab[i], this.dat[i]);
}
obj.setScrollPo sition(0);
};
FlistBoxClass.p rototype.change Labels = function() {
this.getValue() .change(this.su b);
};
FlistBoxClass.p rototype.setSub Menu = function(sub, label, x, y) {
label.change(th is);
this.sub = sub;
this.setChangeH andler("changeL abels", this);
this.setSubInde x(x, y);
};
FlistBoxClass.p rototype.setSub Index = function(x, y) {
this.setSelecte dIndex(x);
this.sub.setSel ectedIndex(y);
};
//change what you like here to add your own artists and songs
//just make sure the title of the song is the same as the name of the mp3
//eg for myGreatSong.mp3 add the title as myGreatSong
//the data being added to the listbox is for demonstration only as no use is made of it
menu = new Labels();
menu.addLabel(" Dire Straits", submenu=new Labels());
submenu.addLabe l("Sultans of Swing", 1);
submenu.addLabe l("Money for Nothing", 2);
submenu.addLabe l("Romeo and Juliet", 3);

Im sorry, but i can't solve this problem for you. Do you have any specific problems with a small portion of code?

Oops I forgot to post the right page up.. the player is now there at http://www.yanwhite.co m/staging/GetGoodMusic/music.htm
