Hi all

I am wanting to stream an mp3 using the netstream object so that I can trigger a switch in javascript when the mp3 has finished playing.

When the page loads the mp3 is initially set to play and when the user selects an option from a drop down menu the music continues to play this is achieved through a js switch, However when it has stopped playing I want flash to set the switch to false so that when a user selects another option the mp3 is restarted.

I know I can achieve the above using FSCommand to communicate with flash however I cant seem to get the music to play using the netstream object and I can't find anything on the web.

Can you stream MP3 without having a streaming server? Is there a better way of doing this? If I add sound using behaviours can I get streamed data information from this?

TIA

Mick
