The general purpose of this project was to create a media player that could handle audio, video, and images. I am using XML to pull in all external media, however the design elements used are imported directly into Flash. (causing an about manageable 70kb file size)
All interface animation is created using quite a few conditional statements plus the built in Tween class in flash.
I have separated each section (audio, video, photos) into movie clips. I am using movie clip "holders" to attach each section to its holder. Each button has a corresponding holder that it loads its section into. When any other button is pressed it unloaded all other movie clips.
Each section uses XML to pull in its information/files. The audio section pulls in album name, album cover, url of song, title of song. The video pulls in single videos, no albums. The photos consists of three albums with about 8 or 9 pictures. Each section uses the same technique to extract information out of the xml.
Because I was using the attachMovie method of adding movie clips, the MovieClipLoader class was out of the question. I decided to just have one main preloader.
