Can I stream or buffer audio???

[cfull]

I would like to make a jukebox, in which I would stream a MP3 file over the internet. The jukebox would contain many songfiles, thus, I do not want to include them in the library, due to the size. Is this possible. I know it is in Director, because you can insert a URL as the address for audio and set the buffer size. Can anyone shed some light on Flash's buffer capibilities???

well streaming with mp3 with flash is very cool. i know you can use a macromedia communication server and handle it.

but its too expensive i think. i have another method read here in the forum, and then i expand this a little bit. it works fine.

you can try it out:

put this action in the first frame:

mysound = new sound();
mysound.loadSound("1.mp3",true);
mysound.start();

then make a button and put this code to the button:

on (release) {
stopAllSounds();
mysound2 = new sound();
mysound2.loadSound("2.mp3",true);
mysound2.start();
}

an now its your turn:
try to change the following lines:
// first frame
mysound.loadSound("1.mp3",true);

to

mysound.loadSound("YOUR_URL_TO_YOUR.mp3",true);


//and the button
mysound2.loadSound("YOUR_URL_TO_YOUR.mp3.mp3",true);

anyone who try this out, please reply to my post here. i have a lot of work around. your comments will help me a little bit to have more time in programming flash.

thnx ;-)
