Music Playlist Help Options

[Relentless]

How come the songs aren`t showing up.

This is the code ..

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /> <embed src="http://www.geocities.com/i_throw_rocks911/player.swf" menu="false" quality="high" bgcolor="EEEEEE" width="300" height="320" name="index" allowScriptAccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="playList=http://www.geocities.com/i_throw_rocks911/playlist.xml&ShowPlaylist=1&ShowEQ=1&firstTrack=1&initVol=50" wmode="transparent" /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

Than when i check.. the songs aren`t there.. so, i edit my profile. The code changed to <iframe>..

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><iframe src="http://www.geocities.com/i_throw_rocks911/player.swf" height="320" width="300" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

I realized that the XML file isnt there. So that`z why the songs aren`t in it. Does anyone know a way to fix this problem?

I need to know how to do this also...
I've checked out the myspace page, opened an account with myfilestash.com, found out that they won't upload certain music file types... almost all file types...
there's also something about macro flash...
any EXPERTS out there willing to help?

I posted the fix in another thread, but here it is again for you.

Your text is being parsed and the embed tag is replaced with iframe. when the embed tag is removed so is your flashvars attribute that points to your playlist.

you need to pass the flashvars manually through the url. Also since the parser looks for the url to end with a swf(if not it removes it), create a bogus variable(here it is throw) and set it to a bogus swf file(throw.swf)

Change the src and the playlist from this example to match yours and you will be gold.

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><br /><iframe src="urlto/player.swf?playList=urltoplaylist/player.xml&amp;ShowPlaylist=1&amp;ShowEQ=1&amp;firstTrack=1&amp;initVol=100&amp;throw=throw.swf" height="275" width="265" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe><br /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

If anyone figures out how to change the iframe's background to transparent i'd love to hear about it. But I assume it's something thats already set in the stylesheet with precedence.

Oh, and F Tom, he wouldn't need to filter stuff like this out if he knew how to script properly.

No thanks necessary

current myspace
view this in firefox to really see the extent of what css can do

go to TinyURL.com and convert your hosted SWF file, http://www.geocities.com/i_throw_rocks911/player.swf to a smaller url. copy and replace with the the new smaller url into the entire code that you posted. then post it in myspace. for some reason, that worked for me. lemme know if it works for you.
