Talking Multitrack audio Flash Player

Hi there!
I'm new to the forum, as you can see, but I am working on a project and need some advice, and this seems to be the place to ask for it.

The thing is this. For those who don`t know, multi track audio is a song in many tracks, and not just two, like in stereo.
For example, when you are recording or mixing a band in multi track, you have the bass drum in its own track, the snare drum in its own track, the lead vocal in its own track... etc.
So my idea is this. I want to make a Flash player that can reproduce 5.1 mp3 files through a regular stereo set and let the user be able to mute specific tracks on the go.
Why this? Becouse I won't use them as a regular 5.1 audio, which its function is to hear audio in surround sound. In this case, I will use each track to put a different instrument, so in one you have the drums, in other the bass, in other the guitar, in other vocals and in other keyboards.

My idea is that the user opens the file and can play around with the song.
He can for example mute the drums, or hear only the voice... etc.
It would be even better if the flash interface can look as a mixer and that each track has its own mute and solo button, and a fader to controll the volume of that particular track.

So any thoughts on the idea and how to make it happen would be really appreciated.

Thanks a lot!

This definitely can be done but you won't find any one tutorial on it.

Start with a simple flash mp3 player...
Then try making it so your flash player is playing two mp3's at once (one for each track) and see if it keeps them synchronized. Synchronization could be a troublesome part of this.

Mp3's by the way do not have multiple tracks. They are flattened mixdowns from multi-track editors. You could (be tricky) look at an open source editor like audacity and find a way to open audacity files in flash however you're going to run into problems with flashes memory limitations and file access limitations. So on second thought don't go that route.

However building a player that plays multiple mp3's at once, synchronizes them, and has options for muting individual one's should be fine.

As of Flash 8 I think flash was capable of playing 8 or 16 simultaneous sound files at a time.

Break your project down into tasks like
flash mp3 player
flash fader control
flash mute button
and so on... and search each of those individually on google or youtube for tutorials. Keep doing so until you have each component working then try to combine them.
