load external music into a .swf and play through AS

[martinb7]

Hi,
Ive got a .swf with a preloader and while its loading I want it to load a .mp3 into the .swf so it isn't too big
But I dont want it to play straight away, i want to make it play when it reaches frame 5 for example because I want to make an intro.

code i have got at the moment

//frame 1-4 is the preloader

mysound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("[URL unfurl="true"]http://mysite.com/folder/my[/URL] song.mp3", true);

//frame 5 = intro

mySound.play();

Can anyone help me?

Thanx

Martin

i dont see a problem...what you have above is correct...you are not loading the mp3...you are streaming it in

what is it thats wrong ?

I wanted the preloader to load the song so its fully loaded for the intro, but not to play til it gets to frame 5.

Is this possible?

in that case have the mp3 in the library marked export for actionscript and use attachsound in frame 5

If you weren't using streaming but an event sound, you could preload it and only start it up on frame 5.
