Ive been looking online but cant find anything, basically what Id like is an embeddable flash player that you can load streams from internet radio stations on. I would also like to be able to load multiple stations and have the end-user be able to pick which one they want to listen to and if possible link to the stations website.

What Im trying do do is have a player that could be put on a myspace page, blog or forum (by the owner of the forum, not in a post or thread) that would give the end-user a nice choice of stations to listen to while browsing. For the forum use it would need to be able to pop out so you dont have to reload everytime you look at a new page.

Any help would be much appreciated!

ive used flash to make simple animations. to do what your asking would take alot of code.
it might get very tricky when adding streaming audio and trying to organise gates and giving prioritys to different stearm if theres to be multiples in one .swf
as for having it pop up, thats done when you post the feker in a forrum. somthing like
href taget=blank ="http//:

yeah, I found that one for the single stream and had it working on a forum I have going, but everytime you looked at a new topic you would have to restart the stream as the connection would be dropped...

any suggestions for a different way to go about it?

You can use SWFObject like we do on our website and you can load in a tracklist from an external file with a selection of streams.

Not sure if It will stream radio streams as it supports mp3 but its definately worth a look into.

also like oleedee said, the best method would be to use a popup window.

Or you could use a frame....but frames are nasty!

Yeah a pop out would def be the best way... got a programmer friend asking some of his programmer friends about the idea, but it may take a while.
