Error With loading XML file.Help me

Question

Hi!
I am trying to make an mp3 player for my web site but I am
having a little problens and I hope you can help me out.
It is a xml driven mp3player. I have a mp3player.as file and
a songs.xml file. Inside my flash movie I only have #include
"mp3player.as".
Here is my mp3player.as code :
[CODE]
//Setup Sound Object
var s :Sound = new Sound();
s.onSoundComplete = playSong;
s.setVolume(75);
//Array of sounds
var sa:Array = new Array();
//Current Playing Song
var cps : Number = -1;
//Load the XML into a xml file
var xml :XML = new XML();
xml.ignoreWhite = true;
xml.onLoad = function()
var nodes : Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
for(var i=0;i<nodes.length;i++)
sa.push(nodes
.attributes.url);
playSong();
xml.load("mp3player.xml");
// Play mp3 file
function playSong() :Void
if(cps == sa.length -1)
cps = 0;
s.loadSound(sa[cps],true);
else
s.loadSound(sa[++cps],true);
[/CODE]
And here is my songs.xml file :
[CODE]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<songs>
<song url="music\setsite.mp3" />
<song url="music\Soul Magic - Soul Magic.mp3" />
<song url="music\Technotronic - NRG Flow.mp3" />
</songs>
[/CODE]
Everytime I test my movie I have this msg :
Error opening URL
'file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/My%20Documents/Web%20Sites/site%20MA IO%202007/undefined'
What is wrong with my code?
When I comment this line xml.load("songs.xml") my movie runs
fine.But I cant fix it..
thank you

Others here in the forums know more about the Sound class
than I do... I haven't used it so much. You are using the
'streaming' type of sound with the isStreaming flag set to true
which means that it starts to play before its fully downloaded. So
on a slow connection I presume it could play and stop in the same
way that the timeline on a movie will pause playing if the rest of
it has not downloaded yet.
For a streaming sound, I guess you could get around this by
implementing a partial preload by using s.stop() after issuing the
s.loadSound command. Then do a "regular" preloader style checking
s.getBytesLoaded vs. s.getBytesTotal ... to a percentage (you could
even monitor the speed over 5-10 seconds to determine an
appropriate level of buffering...maybe) and then use s.start()
again.
That's how I'd tackle it, but like I said others here know
more about this, and perhaps they'll have better ideas. There
appear to be some quirks with the Sound class based on comments in
the flash 8 livedocs...
