Music Player

[aaronzimmer]

I've got a music player on one of my sites that plays 3 songs. My site takes quite a long time (even though they're compressed)to load because of these 3 mp3's. I've seen sites with music players that load really quickly, and the mp3's don't even seem to be compressed at all.

So, how do I get my player to stream the mp3's (without loading a new window), but still have the Flash movie load quickly??

Any suggestions would help a ton! THanks!

keep the mp3's external to the flash file and just stream them in as and when needed

eg mp3's in same folder

frame 1 flash

s = new sound();
s.loadSound("some.mp3", true);
s.start();

And ALLWAYS add this (although MM says the parameter is optional!) to your sound objects definitions... It will keep you out of further trouble!

s = new Sound(this);
s.loadSound("some.mp3", true);
s.start();
