The goal of this tutorial is to create a slightly advanced version of the MP3 player application that I introduced in Quick Tutorial #1 - How to make a simple, re-useable MP3 player in Flash 8 Professional

The difference this time is that our MP3 player will have a playlist to allow playback of a range of MP3 files as required. The playlist data is created from an XML file.

The goal of this tutorial is to create a simple MP3 player application that can be re-used easily without having to change anything in SWF file after it has been built for the first time.

I will be using Flash 8 Professional to create the player application itself and SWFObject to embed the player in a HTML page later on.
