Why won't this sound play?

[unomateo]

I have this mp3 plays, but i cannot get it to play with flash.

I have a simple 1 frame swf with this code:

//load audio, stream then loop
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.loadSound("[URL unfurl="true"]http://smartlegacy.com/ohsnap.mp3",[/URL] true);
my_sound.onSoundComplete = function() {
my_sound.start(0,1);
}

It will not play? I have no idea why?
I'm using flash 8

Actually, this is the code, I do not need the function.

//load audio, stream then loop
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.loadSound("[URL unfurl="true"]http://smartlegacy.com/ohsnap.mp3",[/URL] true);
my_sound.start(0,1);

Are you loading this sound movie within another main movie?

no, I just have one movie, and the code in in the only frame?

do I need to add this to a movie in the main movie?

No.

Maybe you can't remotely access that sound file on that server... 'Cause if I use your script and link to one of my own .mp3 on my server it works fine...

BTW, my_sound.start(0,1); is useless, since you're loading a streaming sound, and it'll start on it's own, when enough has buffered.

hmmm...

when I put this in my url address bar:

http://smartlegacy.com/ohsnap.mp3

the mp3 plays?

The MP3 I was using was bad...it worked would play, but then I looked at the properties of the mp3 and the bitrate was 0?

I made it with wondows sound recorder. Then I re-saved it with audacity and it then had a bit rate of 128.

The flash works fine.

What a pain!
