Stream an external mp3???

[aamaker]

Im looking for an .fla example or actionscript example of how I can stream an external mp3 file when a site loads.

Anyone have an example?

-- Thanks

 

[billwatson]

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


placed in frame 1 this will stream in the mp3

Awesome... Thanks.

If I wanted to pre-load a portion of it prior to starting the 'play'ing of it... how would/could I do that?

Can I load a % of it or does it have to be in number of bytes?

-- Thanks again.

preloading it in defeats the purpose of streaming the file so i dont understand what you are trying to do.

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.

there is an simple example

http://www.weeeks.de/radio.html

but not with an url in the vars!

 

[aamaker]

mySound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("1.mp3", true);
stop();


... where I have 1.mp3 in the same folder as the flash file... the 'true' statement means it is set to stream, if false, entire audio file will load then play.

Let me know how you make out with this.
