How to reduce controllers (buttons)

When you first load your program it will set up a folder called controllers. Many people will not use all the different controllers so you can set up another folder called unused controllers and move all the controllers you do not use into this folder.

If you want to use them in the future then just move them back into the original folder.  This means when you use the options and the controller choice for your project then only the controllers you have left in the controller folder will be able to be selected.

Adjusting the size of controllers (buttons)

The html created by HiFi Audio Stream contains the sizes of the Flash movies. The sizes are there twice, once for Internet Explorer and once for Netscape. You can change these parameters to resize the buttons.

Sample

   Sample Normal

width=60 height=20.25

   Sample at 75% 

width=60 height=20.25

 This is a controller with the sizes doubled.

width=260 height=64

Renaming the files

Here is how you rename files so they work. You must leave the extension on the end.

My three files were

mp3ss10.htm

mp3ss10d.swf

mp3ss10s.swf

I reanmed them to

test.htm

testd.swf

tests.swf

Notice I left the s and the d on the end as these tell how the controller etc works. You will also need to change the names inside the htm file to correspond with your file name changes.

Extra Buttons

Standard set:

This set is supplied with the program. Quite a varied selection. Click the link below to check them out. Note there are 47 of them and the page might take a while to download. You would probably not normally have this many audio tracks on a page, but it is possible.
