I’m working with some other developers at my office on a multimedia player interface that displays ads and MP3s/FLVs from a user-controlled database of content.

Turns out, in our v2 iteration that uses Flash 8 and the related video player, MP3s don’t jive. Is that right? We’re just now migrating to Flash 8 development, particularly for video, and we were suprised to see the functionality we had for MP3s with the MediaPlayback component go away. Is there a better way to integrate the Flash 8 video player with audio than what we did before?

Thanks,
