mp3 player problems on mac os

[ridgeback1105]

Hi!

I'm newbie in flex and I have a problem when I run flex mp3 player on mac OS.
Here is the site where I get the player.
[url]http://labs.flexcoders.nl/2007/02/21/easy-to-use-mp3player-version-003/[/url]. There
are no problems in windows OS. The problem in mac is it you will need to click
stop button first and after that click now the play button. But in windows you
will only click the play button. Is there something wrong in the code? Or I
will need to install plugins for MAC.

Please help me.

Thanks in advance,

Ridge.


anyway here are the codes:

MP3PLayer.as:

/*
MP3Player version 0.3

Simple mp3 player.

use:
- url, pathe to the mp3-file;
- autoAutplay;

properties you can read:
- id3, info;
- length, length in ms;
- sLength, formatted length "0.00";
- sPosition, formatted position "0.00";
- position, position in ms;
- pMinutes, position minutes;
- pSeconds, position seconds;

//-->added 21 februari 2007
- repeat;
- volume;
- pan;

TODO:
- set position, this is for example for slider-drag;
- and other cool stuff
- boring stuff like documentation

Try assigning an initial value to the pausePosition variable in MP3Player.as,
probably in the constructor:

public function MP3Player():void{
this.pausePosition = 0; //assign the value of 0 here
this.explicitHeight = 0;
this.soundInstance = new Sound();
this.soundTransform = new SoundTransform();
this.setupListeners();
}
