  • You could set a meta tag refresh to happen after a certain amount of time, like 4 minutes. If you know the songs exact time, then you could pass that as a php variable to the meta tag. Here is an example of the code:

    Code:
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="600">
    WHERE 600 is in seconds.

    Good luck!

    • Thanks for replying, but that would only work if all of the songs were the same length. So that wont work for this
  • It's been such a long time since I worked with Flash...

    I think this should work

    You can create a function that sends the length of the song from Flash to your html/php.

    Then use that a variable in your meta-refresh tag.

    Or load the song via external variables. So, you will use the same mechanism to place the value in your refresh tag/script.
