This tutorial will teach you how to create an XML music player using AS3. The songs to played in our player will be specified in an XML file so that the player loads each song as required. The songs in the player can be updated by simply updating the XML playlist file so that you do not have to go back to the FLA.

This tutorial will teach you the basics on how to load and process XML in Flash using ActionScript 3.0. You are assumed to have basic knowledge of ActionScript in order to follow this tutorial.

Start off by creating a main project folder for our slideshow. Insider this folder create a sub folder named images that will host our images. Unzip the file we have given you and put all your images inside it. Our XML file will be placed next to the images folder.

XML can be used to load external data in Flash to provide an easy method for structuring content so that it is easy to understand, process, and update. This tutorial will teach you the basics on how to create a Flash-friendly XML file and how to load and process this XML file in Flash using the ActionScript XML object. You are assumed to have intermediate knowledge of ActionScript in order to follow this tutorial.

New we are going to integrate XML file with Flash. We will read XML data using a flash and display it. To read XML file we are going to deal with inbuilt function provided by macromedia flash. The event we're dealing with here is the event of the XML being fully downloaded and introduced into Flash movie. This is the called the onLoad event.

1. First open up a new flash document. We are going to create the form elements and then get into loading the xml. (Please refer to the picture to see how everything was arranged.)
