I’m building a audio/video player and I’m having trouble getting some mp3 files to play without being choppy.

Basically, here’s what I’m doing:

var snd:Sound = new Sound();  
snd.load(new URLRequest(“sound.mp3”);  
snd.play();

It plays the sound, but every second or so the sound cuts out for a split second. I’ve tried buffering the entire file as well and it still doesn’t work. The strange thing is that it only happens on certain files. The Flash 8 version of the audio player plays these files just fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
