[COLOR=Gray]*Hi all, I’m the peon Intern of a design firm, with the excruciating task of making a flash based dynamic website/portfolio for them…
I’ve been able to build it up this far, but theres several huge problems that I can’t seem to negotiate managment to change since im not, like, a computer programmer. *[/COLOR]
The big issue is sound for this thread. I know theres two ways of loading and playing a dynamic mp3…Event and Stream. Ive read just about all stream tutorials and still can’t seem to get it to work…on every browser.
-It plays fine on: IE 5.0, 6.0 and Flash MX player.
-But it doesn’t seem to play on Firefox, Safari, or Opera, or even Flash MX 2004 player.
-The sound is in the same directory as the flash swf, and its direct. I’ve tried the change the extension .mp3 to .swf bit to see if the old Flash 5 fix works, nope.
-mp3 file size is 1.04 megs, medium bitrate 64 or so.
- this is how the movie is laid out…in case its layout is the culprit,.in the main scene:
[COLOR=Blue]Frames:1 ---->180
[/COLOR][COLOR=Blue][preloader] .[sound actionscripts] .[stop movie]
.[movie tweens ].[begin modular site][/COLOR]
- it has nothing to do with apache or iis server problems.
-Code:
[COLOR=Blue][sound actionscripts code:frame4][/COLOR]
[COLOR=DimGray]_root.dornSound=new Sound();
_root.dornSound.loadSound(“forthemind.mp3”,false);
_root.dornSound.start(0,999);[/COLOR]
-When I Delete the Cache on all browsers:
I can press the play button on and off several times before sound kicks in. fnally. This happens even in IE.
-When cache is loaded on all browsers:
I have to click the button on/off once for sound to play in Firefox, Opera, Safari. But IE automatically plays when you enter the website.
To me it seems that its trying to go for event sound, even though I coded it for stream. I can’t think of anything else to do with it. Help anyone? Much appreciation in advance!
Here is the website, in an older form, this older version behaves in IE like Firefox and otehr browsers. Please pardon the mess in it.
