I have published a site and audio doesn’t play the first time the site loads. Audio starts only when the browser is refreshed.

NOTE: THE SITE IS FOR A BAND THAT USES EXPLICIT LANGUAGES.

If you guys have any suggestions or ideas as to why the audio doesn’t play the first time it loads… please give me some inputs. I’m out of ideas. Thanks a bunch!

Didn’t play for me onload. Didn’t play for me on refresh either. I had to hit stop on the player, then start it.

hi vintage 😛

i’m calvin-vintage.

anyhow, here’s the code in audio player scene:

```auto

var mySound = [];
var loadedSound = false;
var stop:Boolean = false;
var mySoundPlaying:Boolean = false;

initialize = function() {
	if(!loadedSound) {
		for(index = 0; index < _root.audioNode.length; index++) {
			mySound[index] = new Sound();
			mySound[index].loadSound(_root.audioNode[index].attributes.file, false);
		}
		loadedSound = true;
	}
	this.stop = false;
	loadSound();
}
loadSound = function() {
	this.onEnterFrame = function() {
		if(!this.stop){
			downloaded = mySound[_root.track].getBytesLoaded();
			total = mySound[_root.track].getBytesTotal();
			if (downloaded < total) {
				this.title.text = "downloading song...";
			} 
			else {
				if(complete != 1) {
					this.equalizer.gotoAndPlay("start");
				}
				complete = 1;
				this.title.text = (_root.track+1)+". "+_root.audioNode[_root.track].attributes.title;
				this.equalizer._visible = true;
				if(!mySoundPlaying) {
					mySoundPlaying = true;
					mySound[_root.track].start(0, 0);
				}
			}
		}
		mySound[_root.track].setVolume(_root.volume);
		
		mySound[_root.track].onSoundComplete = function() {
			if(_root.track < _root.audioNode.length - 1) {
				++_root.track;
			}
			else {
				_root.track = 0;
			}
			mySoundPlaying = false;
			initialize();
		}
	};
}

initialize();

```

Thanks!
