To fix the problem, i assume that by changing the file exstension of your mp3 files to something which isnt registered as a download hook in GetRight will do the trick, but of course, if GetRight actually checks the mime-type of the file instead of using the files exstension, then this will not solve the problem. Changing the mime-type is not only a complex process for novices, it wont solve the problem, because the Flash Player will not play the file if its mime-type is not set to type mp3.

9. Local Connection Tip | Flash Tutorials webdesign.org

I am using four movies on one page and they all need to be able to send and recieve data to each other using LocalConnection. Therefore with my original thought i would need to create 12 unique channels for each of them to be able to send and recieve to each of the others, the more movies their are on the page, the higher the number of channels will be. Instead i decided to create a relay movie, a fifth movie, which creates a unique listening channel which each of the other four movies on the page, then each of those four movies create a unique listening channel with the relay movie. So we now effectively have a relay system, where each of the four movies on the page can send and recieve data from and to the relay movie using only 8 unique channels as opposed to 12. For any of those four movies to communicate with each other they send a message to the relay movie, which in turn relays the message to each of the other movies and my problem is solved. This solution to a problem, may come in handy for those people worried about the amount of memory each channel uses on the local computer as it obviously reduces that amount by atleast half, the more channels there are, the memory that is used, thus reducing the number of channels reduces the memory usage!

10. Navigation Tips | Flash Tutorials webdesign.org

Well, you probably want to create some cool unique navigation menu for your site. Most nice flash sites have them so why not yours. This tutorial will give you some tips that I learned while creating my flash sites. First of all on most sites you will probably have a few seconds of animation from one section to the other, any sort of animation. Now, here's a scenario: The user clicks on a button that sends him to section x from section y. During the cool animation you worked so hard on that user decides to go to section z. What happens to the animation sequence? It gets cut off and jumps to the animation sequence intended for section z. But there is a problem you where in the middle of a transition this might ruin the whole effect. I simple way to avoid this entire mess is just to use two variables in your flash site. The first CurrentSection this variable will hold the name of the section you are in so if your in section x the value would be x but if your in section z then the value would be z. This helps program the buttons to play the sequence you would like. The next variable you will need is the Process variable. This one will hold a value of True or False. So if you have a animation sequence that you don't want interrupted just add a keyframe at the beginning of the sequence (I recommend in new layer) set Process to be true and add another keyframe at the end of the sequence and set Process to False. And just add an if statement to the beginning of your button action. Something like if Process eq False..., I used If Process <> "True". That's it you can download the .fla file for an example of those two variables being used. Example .Fla File Navfla.zip Summation: Step 1 - Set CurrentSection with the name of the section at the first keyframe of section (before the animation sequence). Step 2 - Set Process to True on the button that leads to an animation. That's All.
