i,
I've successfully got working the user being able to upload an MP3 file using a content type I created (CCK+SWF Tools+1pixelout). However, is it possible to automatically play additional MP3 file(s) at the beginning and the end of the main MP3? Like an introduction and conclusion. 1pixelout refers to this as pre/post pending the MP3 file.
Thanks a lot!

Not directly via SWF Tools, but yes if you write your own code to call SWF Tools.

SWF Tools will put content on the page, but then within that basic idea there are lots (and lots!) of site specific applications. The danger is that if SWF Tools tries to support every possible variation of using media then it will become ever bigger than it is now.

To try and limit that my plan is to build in some hooks to make it possible to write short modules that manipulate basic content in some way. Tagging an opening / closing movie would fall in that category.

In the interim, you'd need to write some of your own code, either in a template, or in the call the swf() function, to add on the necessary files I'm afraid.

Changing status to feature request, and postponed, as in the short term I won't have time to work on this because of trying to get improved FlowPlayer3 and playlisting, and also thinking about SWF Tools 7!
