loading music question

[MJB3K]

Hi, how would you go about making a flash movie load sound when you press a button, but have a load bar increase to the % loaded and play while its loading (streaming)??

any ideas??

my code so far:

on a button:

on (press) {
	my_sound = new Sound();
	my_sound.loadSound("[URL unfurl="true"]http://localhost/Lemar.mp3",[/URL] true);
	_root.mloader.gotoAndStop(2);
}

on a movieclip on second frame (1st frame has a stop():

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	//trace the percentage of the movie that has loaded
	percent = (_root.my_sound.getBytesLoaded()/_root.my_sound.getBytesTotal())*100;
	bys1 = _root.my_sound.getBytesLoaded();
	byst1 = _root.my_sound.getBytesTotal();
	bys = Math.floor(bys1/1024)+" kb /";
	byst = Math.floor(byst1/1024)+" kb";
	if (!isNan(percent)) {
		// The following only concern the preloader's displays...
		if (percent == 0) {
			percent_display = "";
		} else {
			_root.grFlash.percent_display = Math.ceil(percent)+"%";
			// LOADED.";
			this.loadTxt.text = "Loading... "+Math.ceil(_root.my_sound.getBytesLoaded()/1024)+" / "+Math.ceil(_root.my_sound.getBytesTotal()/1024)+" kb";
			trace("Loading... " + Math.ceil(_root.my_sound.getBytesLoaded()/1024)+" / "+Math.ceil(_root.my_sound.getBytesTotal()/1024)+" kb");
		}
		_root.grFlash.loadbar._visible = true;
		this.loadBar._xscale = percent;
		if (percent>1) {
			this.reelmc._visible = true;
		}
		// End of preloader's displays...
		//_root.my_sound.stop();
	}
	if (percent == 100) {
		// this sends this preloader clip back to frame 1
		// where it awaits the next call to it...
		//this.gotoAndStop(1);
		// this deletes this onEnterFrame event...
		// so that the movie clip stops looping...
		delete this.onEnterFrame;
		//_root.my_sound.start();
		this.gotoAndStop(1);
		// end of preloader's displays handling...
	}
};
stop();

please help!

As suggested here...

, it's a bit curious to want to preload a dynamically "streaming" sound, as you're doing here. The sound will start playing on it's own as soon as enough has buffered...

how do you get the % buffered?? then put it as a bar increasing in percent??

^^ look there - the streaming bar at the bottom gets the % buffered, but plays at the same time!

thats what im after!
