I am working on tryinng to load mp3’s dynamically. I am using code from Billy T below for laoding the file. Works great for the load. But then I tried to start the loaded mp3 . It plays fine on my pc locally, but not if I put it on a server and then try it. To get it to work, you must refresh your browser - i.e. it only plays on the second load (or sometimes third). This is driving me pretty crazy - why would this be?

Here is the link to the swf on the server - you will see that a refresh is needed to get the music to play:

Here is the entire fla that is playing on the server:

```auto
mSound = new Sound();
mSound.loadSound("coolloop.mp3");
sndFrameFunc();
//test load sound
myMusicPosition = 0;
mSound.start(myMusicPosition, 0);
function sndFrameFunc() {
	if (!this.fullyLoaded) {
		this.onEnterFrame = function() {
			var t = mSound.getBytesTotal();
			totalbytes.text = t;
			var l = mSound.getBytesLoaded();
			bytesloaded.text = l;
			var pc = l/t;
			percentdone.text = pc*100+"%";
			this.loadBar2._width = pc*100;
			if (t && l == t) {
				this.fullyLoaded = true;
				delete this.onEnterFrame;
				result.text = "Deleting onEnterFrame within if block...";
			}
		};
	}
}

```
