READ FIRST!!: How to change the size of your music player (for the updated player).

Posted by JeremyRiney 3 years 18 weeks ago

To change the size of your music player, you have to change it in two places (IMPORTANT: knowledge of HTML required, otherwise you could break your player!)

(1) Find and edit the following piece of code:

quality="high" width="XXXX" height="XXXX" name="mp3player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"

(2) Add the following to your "flashvars" code:

&myheight=XXXX&mywidth=XXXX

That should do it. If you have any problems, post below:

I reduced the size of my player to 90% of the original.
But there are two things I wanted to bring up.

1)For those of you changing the code, notice that the order in which you use your size is opposite in the flashvars than it is in the top portion. (the top goes width, then height, the flashvars is opposite, height then width. Careful!)

2) This doesn't change the size of the feature bar at the bottom (create a playlist, standalone player, get tracks) Any ideas on how to change that? Changing the size of the rest of the player doesn't help much if you can't change the size of the bottom control bar.
I know how to remove the features separately or altogether, but I really prefer not to, I like having access to the standalone feature.
Right now I'm currently only keeping the "Launch Standalone Player" to use minimal space on that side of my box. (I hate having to scholl to the side to see the rest of my page).

Thanks in advance.

I understand HTML, but I want to make sure I'm doing it right. Could someone post an example code?

Ok well here is the part u say I need to add the code to....but I don't know where to add it. I already have the width and height to where I want it, but just don't know where to put in the code. If somebody could please help me out and post the right code for me to change it to I would really appreciate it. Thanx!!

it still cuts the player off... is there any way we can make the player super small and have the name of the song scrolling?

I agree...we need the playlist to auto scroll. It is alot better for us people that have Div layouts. We can easily change the Width & Height and not worry about the darn scroll bar not showing up...lol! It would be good for you'll to have an option for people to choose if they want it auto or manual scroll...kinda like the way u can choose the color of the player. Ok well Thanx!

please please please help!


I've asked on myspace and everyone has no clue.

I've cropped it down to
width="270" height="80" and it just cuts off the player halfway. where can we get the code to scroll? how can we make it still show the volume control button, even though it has been resized?

ok, here goes.

I will bold the parts that need changed.

flashvars="&config=http://www....xml&file=http://www.myplay..505&mywidth=300&myheight=250"

You just add it to the end. Make sure it's inside the quotes, and not inside another function call.

as for the links at the bottom for stand alone player etc. They're only images, so all you need to do is specify a width. Here's an example.

<a href=http://www.myplaylist.org/download/938505><img src=http://www.myplaylist.org/mc/images/get_black.jpg border=0 width="100" /></a>

Ok that helped with size, but my problem is that no matter what size the window, it crops almost all of it out. Just showing a part of the album pic and EQ not showing any of the playlist.
