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.com/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..

Code: Select all

 
//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.setEnabled(false);
playB.setEnabled(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.prototype.addLabel = function(name, value) {
this.lab.push(name);
this.dat.push(value);
};
Labels.prototype.change = function(obj) {
var i;
obj.removeAll();
for (i=0; i<this.dat.length; i++) {
obj.addItem(this.lab[i], this.dat[i]);
}
obj.setScrollPosition(0);
};
FlistBoxClass.prototype.changeLabels = function() {
this.getValue().change(this.sub);
};
FlistBoxClass.prototype.setSubMenu = function(sub, label, x, y) {
label.change(this);
this.sub = sub;
this.setChangeHandler("changeLabels", this);
this.setSubIndex(x, y);
};
FlistBoxClass.prototype.setSubIndex = function(x, y) {
this.setSelectedIndex(x);
this.sub.setSelectedIndex(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.addLabel("Sultans of Swing", 1);
submenu.addLabel("Money for Nothing", 2);
submenu.addLabel("Romeo and Juliet", 3);
submenu.addLabel("Telegraph Road", 4);

Whoops, just a second.

I think I am going to need to see the flash file to be any help at all though, but you should just be able to copy the code that creates and fills the text boxes as many times as you want.

[waterox]

Hm I tried that.
However my actionscripting is not all that great |)
The fla is here
yanwhite.com/staging/GetGoodMusic/mp3player.zip though the only extra thing I could see in there was instance names of listboxes and buttons.

[Sgaspar11]

Yeah it looks like the dynamic test fields with instance names are probably: Menu, Menu2 right?

I see that right there in the AS.

Create another one called Menu3 (and a dynamic text field or MC with an instance name of Menu3) and use the AS just like it does for the others...leave the content the same just to test it out to see if it prefils, then change the content as needed.

Cheers,
