Re: mp3 player in flash

having the mp3 in a dir named music is fine within the webroot dir is fine.

is your app installed in a folder named cake and artist a controller

or is the app within artist?

it looks to me the latter (although other parts of your email make me think that artist is a controller)
and the fix may be as simple as make the flash instance recieve
/cake/artist/webroot/music/myfile.mp3
that should be the same as
/cake/artist/music/myfile.mp3

I think your passing a relative url to the flash instance
since it finds the mp3 from the index but not the detailView action

I have an app that plays mp3s from a flash header
my mp3s are in a dir named mp3 - I load playlists of mp3s from a dir xml (which has absolute paths)

irrespective of the url in the browser the mp3 is played - below is a simplified version of the setup I used (in addition to loading the header I have various other swfobjects for videos, photos etc that all use the same principal - my header also has a signup feature using ajax to pass send/repond data between flash & cake)

var flObj = {
  flashvars: {
    logoObject:'flash/logo.swf',
    xmlFile:'xml/blank.xml',
    file:"xml/playlist.xml",mp3swf:"flash/mp3player.swf"
    },
    params:{
      base:siteCfg.path
    }
};


swfobject.embedSWF(
  siteCfg.path+"/flash/myheader.swf",
  "targetDiv",977,220,"8.0.0",false,
  flObj.flashvars,
  flObj.params
);


since the flash params.base is set I can pass additional files to my flash to load the additional files are passed relative to location in webroot
and the flash instance concats the url of loaded file from the siteCfg.path

so my app installed in /cakemp3playingapp/ on example.com - the following will all work

example.com/cakemp3playingapp/
example.com/cakemp3playingapp/artists/
example.com/cakemp3playingapp/artists/details/1/
example.com/cakemp3playingapp/contact/

my example uses an xml playlist - but thats optional

I'm passing by params.
something like webroot/music/myfile.mp3.


in index show me the following url:
localhost/cake/artist/webroot/music/myfile.mp3

in other shows this:
localhost/cake/artist/detailview/1/webroot/music/myfile.mp3

However in my index it run, in my detailview not.

I tought if is better to change the route, or put my files outside
webroot.

Thanks
