Sorry I do not have any examples, but I'm pretty sure you know what I mean. How do you do that? (if you can)

<object id="darkplayer" codeBase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701" type="application/x-oleobject" height="0" standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..." width="0" classid="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95">

</select><br>
<input TYPE="BUTTON" NAME="PLAY" VALUE="play" OnClick="play(document.forms['form'].playlist);">
<input TYPE="BUTTON" NAME="PAUSE" VALUE="pause" OnClick="document.darkplayer.Pause(); playstate=2;">
<input TYPE="BUTTON" NAME="STOP" VALUE="stop" OnClick="document.darkplayer.Stop(); playstate=2;"></p>
</form>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
var playstate = 1;
shuffle = 1; // set to 0 to always play first song in list
// set to 1 to randomly choose the first song to play
songs=new Array();
songs[0]="URL HERE FOR FIRST SONG THAT PLAYS";

if (shuffle == 1) {
var randsg = Math.floor(Math.random()*songs.length);
document.darkplayer.FileName = songs[randsg];
document.darkplayer.scr = songs[randsg];
document.forms['form'].playlist.options[randsg].selected = true;
}
function play(list) {
if (playstate == 2) {
document.darkplayer.Play();
} else {
var snum = list.options[list.selectedIndex].value
document.darkplayer.FileName = songs[snum];
document.darkplayer.scr = songs[snum];
}
playstate = 1;
}
//-->
</script>

-->edit: if that dont work tell me

Hey how do you make that script play random songs without refreshing the page? Thanks.

Thanks, yes that is exactly what I meant!

Thanks, yes that is exactly what I meant!
By the way, It worked GREAT!

finally somebody got it right!!! i posted that same code here a few days ago and like 3 people imed me telling me it didn't work... i mean, how hard is it to copy, and paste... good job!

The script works great! Is it possible to have it auto-play the 1st song? I mean like when the page loads up, it'll auto-start playing the song, and doesn't require the view to click on play? Thanks in advance! =)

i thought it already did that...see this part of the code...

var playstate = 1;
shuffle = 1; // set to 0 to always play first song in list
// set to 1 to randomly choose the first song to play

I have that in the code, but the music will only play when the viewer clicks on play. I was hoping it would auto-play when the page loads. Thanks again for taking the time to help me. =)

hrmm... very puzzling...

Hey, How's it Goin? OK... the source code works AWSOME Thank you you VERY much for being kind enough to take the time to post valueble things like that!. But I do have a small problem with the code. When I type in the code, the player appears on the site and all is good! But as soon as the code recognizes that there is a song URL, it automatically plays it on site load-up and will not allow the user to STOP. if user tries to play a differnt song, they double over! how do I fix this? (I have not changed ANY other elements of the source code except for the song name and URL)

lol, guess I spoke to soon... I figured it out.
Chatter box has a predetermined script linking to whatever song you previously had in the music link under Look and Feel I had to go down to the script and search for anything pertaining to the link to that specific song. It was Identified with in tags <embed> </noembed>

Hopefully this helps some of you guys out.
Maybe, maybe not.
But now that I did fix that... I am having trouble with that whole "the song won't load automatically on site start-up". So, I'll look into that. but I'll keep checking in here as well!

finally somebody got it right!!! i posted that same code here a few days ago and like 3 people imed me telling me it didn't work... i mean, how hard is it to copy, and paste... good job!
heh...no offense but i'm pretty sure i copied and pasted (ctrl+c then ctrl+v) correctly...but then it ended up not working and i had to look up "darkplayer" on the internet. so for some xangas like mine...the code may not work...at least, that's what i'm thinking

the code does work... end of story!
