How to do mp3 downloads in firefox?

I am using this code to set up mp3 downloads
-First Frame
mp3version="401audio.mp3"
-Then on the button
on (release) {
getURL(_root.mp3version,"_blank")
And this works correctly in ie but firefox plays the file, I
dont want to put instructions to change how firefox manages mp3
file types. Is there another way to download mp3 files in flash.

here is the code for the correct way to download from flash -
this comes straight from the flash help:
import flash.net.FileReference;
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onComplete = function(file:FileReference) {
trace("onComplete : " + file.name);
var url:String = "
http://www.adobe.com/platform/whitepapers/platform_overview.pdf";
var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
fileRef.addListener(listener);
fileRef.download(url, "FlashPlatform.pdf");
just change the the url string to the path of your file and
change FlashPlatform.pdf to the default name you want the file to
be named when it is downloaded.

  • How to create mp3 downloads

    We all know there are a trillion places to buy and sell mp3 downloads, I just want to know how they are created in the first place
    Any enlightenment on this?

    are you asking how to convert an audio CD to an mp3 file? Sorry, the question is so basic nearly everyone here will assume you mean something else.

  • How do i prevent an mp3 downloaded in Firefox from automatically importing and playing in iTunes?

    i download a lot of music from blogs, most of it is indie label or no-label and can't be purchased from the itunes store. anyway, using firefox, when i download a track it saves it to my downloads folder and then itunes automatically imports the file and starts playing it.
    needless to say this is annoying. i'm usually doing other stuff while downloading and i don't want itunes opening on it's own and playing songs while i'm busy doing other things. also, i prefer to move the files into itunes manually.
    i feel like this should be simple, and maybe it is, but i can't figure it out. how do i keep this from happening? anyone?

    Please please please update your software RIGHT NOW.
    Update to Firefox 19.0.2 [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

  • HOW TO SET ANOTHER DOWNLOADER FOR FIREFOX?

    i want to set orbit downloader for my firefox........

    The system_paramters field is a comma-separated list of name/value pairs, e.g:
    'PARAM1=1,PARAM2=true'
    These are then parsed and put into a WB_RT_MAPAUDIT.WB_RT_NAME_VALUES object which is used in the call to main() for you mapping.
    The system parameters can be deduced from the initialize() procedure in your mappings:
    IF p_env(i).param_name = 'MAX_NO_OF_ERRORS' THEN
    get_max_errors := p_env(i).param_value;
    ELSIF p_env(i).param_name = 'COMMIT_FREQUENCY' THEN
    get_commit_frequency := p_env(i).param_value;
    ELSIF p_env(i).param_name = 'OPERATING_MODE' THEN
    get_operating_mode := p_env(i).param_value;
    ELSIF p_env(i).param_name = 'BULK_SIZE' THEN
    get_bulk_size := p_env(i).param_value;
    ELSIF p_env(i).param_name = 'AUDIT_LEVEL' THEN
    get_audit_level := p_env(i).param_value;
    ELSIF p_env(i).param_name = 'AUDIT_ID' THEN
    get_audit_id := p_env(i).param_value;
    ELSIF p_env(i).param_name = 'PURGE_GROUP' THEN
    get_purge_group := p_env(i).param_value;
    You may also have custom parameters defined for your mappings, and they are passed in a similar way to the p_custom_params variable in run_task()

    *If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar

  • After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop I restarted the computer, but I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a Secret Password. How do I set up the account if the prompt never show up?

    Several months ago I installed the Firefox Home app on my iPhone to sync the bookmarks that I had on my Windows XP home computer. It has worked just fine until a few days ago. Just recently I was notified that the app would no longer work because of changes that have been made. I have tried to follow the instructions that were emailed to me regarding how to setup the new Firefox Sync add-on, but I am having a problem. After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop and restarting my computer, I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a password and a secret phrase, as the instructions specify. How do I set up the account if the prompt never shows up?

    Click on the Firefox button then select Options to open the Options dialog. Now go to the Sync panel for the option to setup a new account.

  • How do I stop downloaded MP3s playing in the QuickTime Browser Plugin?

    I have a number of websites created in Flash, which are used to promote musicians and bands in Bristol, UK. I use Flash because it allows animations, music players, background music, and all the other features ideal for promotional websites.
    We offer MP3s for free download so our fans and followers can own some of our tracks.
    Up until last week, a link directly to an MP3 would launch the "Save As..." download dialogue, allowing users to save the files to their PC.
    However, since installing QuickTime 7, when you click on a link to an MP3 it now launches a nasty little embedded Quicktime player, which you can't save from or do anything useful with.
    This is absolutely useless as I already have streaming audio and a built-in music player in my site, and I can now no longer offer MP3 downloads. I don't want to have to start zipping my MP3s or anything hideous like that, does anyone know a way that I can stop this happening?
    I can't expect visitors to my sites to do anything, so I need some way of changing the URL so that it doesn't trigger the QT plugin.
    Would really appreciate some assistance as this has effectively ruined the most significant part of most of our websites.
    Thanks

    Ah, well, it was worth a try, but since you're clearly not actually reading my post - I'm using FLASH, as I clearly stated so you cannot right click.
    As for the QT Mime settings, what you are saying is woefully inaccurate, and once again you aren't reading what I am writing. Quicktime is not the default player for MP3s on my PC. And as of two days ago there was no QT MP3 browser plugin either. I installed Quicktime because I have to have it to play MOV files.
    By installing QT the program arbitrarily (that means it did it without any involvement or permission from me) took ownership of MP3s in the browser only. I know how MIME settings work, and I made absolutely sure that QT did not get it's hands on any of my filetypes. However, there is NOT an option to stop it playing MP3s in a browser, and it most definitely happened without my say so.
    There clearly isn't an answer to this, I'll either have to put my MP3s in Zips or use some elaborate code to generate a nasty HTML page so that you can (retch) Right Click, Save As. All this because the QuickTime player has made changes that it had absolutely no right to.
    Never mind, I'll find another way. But first, I'm uninstalling Quicktime forever.

  • How can I get the search bar for mp3 downloader pro

    I have the mp3 downloader pro but the search bar is not their, someone told me that I had to type something in the URL to get it but don't know what it is. Can anyone help me?

    In Firefox 3.6 on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
    Press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar.
    Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide.
    See also [[Menu bar is missing]]
    * If the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down, that should make the Menu bar appear (Firefox 3.6 on Windows) (see [[Menu bar is missing]]).
    * Make sure that you have the ''Navigation Toolbar'' and other toolbars visible: View > Toolbars .
    * If items are missing then see if you can find them in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.
    * If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to the Navigation toolbar.
    * If you do not see that item then click the Restore Default Set button in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.

  • How to recover incomplete download items from the point where it stopped in firefox browser in case of unexpected computer crash or shut down

    While downloading with Mozilla Firefox if by any means my computer crashes or shutdown unexpectedly I lose all data that had been downloaded so far. How to recover the downloaded data without a need to start all the way back from scratch to download the same data. Please help me if there are any means to recover downloaded mbs and continue from where it has stopped, so that I can avoid losing extra mbs and time to go back again and restart downloading.

    Try these steps:
    # Move the old .part partial download and the final file without the .part that has size 0 to another location.
    # Start a new download and pause it, don't close Firefox.
    # Copy the two files (.part and 0 byte final) that you moved above back to the download location to replace the new files that were created.
    # Resume the download in Firefox.
    If that doesn't work then the server may not support resuming.

  • How to create an mp3 download link (AS3)

    I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to let users
    download mp3s from my flash website (so the user gets the same sort
    of dialogue box that they would from a normal html site). Part of
    the issue is that I have a very, very piecemeal knowledge of as3
    and flash. So far, it's been a couple of tutorial books and a lot
    more ambition than knowledge : ) With that being said, I would
    greatly appreciate not only the answer, but an explanation of how
    and why the answer works. The tutorial books I used really dumbed
    down as3, so the "correct" way is much different than what I
    learned. Thank you so much in advance, and I really appreciate the
    help!
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Zip up the MP3 then link to it.

  • How can I get back my internet explorer which has been removed when I have downloaded Mozilla Firefox?

    I want to download Mozilla Firefox as an optional browser as I can only access a website for work through this browser. However, when I downloaded MF, even though I tick that I do not want it as my default browser or homepage, it downloads, but has removed my Internet Explorer connection. This has happened a couple of times now and is very frustrating. I don't know how to get my IE back and keep the option of MF available. MF seems to automatically delete/remove IE when it is downloaded. I am using Windows 8. I would appreciate help and advice to correct this situation. Many thanks.

    Hi, Philipp,
    Thank you very much for your prompt reply and support. The IE icon disappeared immediately after I downloaded MF. I tried to download IE again but without success. In the end all my icons on my start page disappeared, although I do not think this was to do with MF. I had to resort to restoring my lap top to factory settings for the umpteenth time and I have now got IE back but no MF. I will keep your advice and will try again when I am feeling brave enough and have sufficient time to try and download MF again. I am not confident with technical problems and greatly appreciate your help and support.
    Kind regards, K.
