hey!

what i have:

var my\_sound = new Sound();  
my\_sound.loadSound(“ff.wav”, true);  
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“my\_mc”, 9876);  
var position = my\_sound.position;  
my\_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (my\_sound.position == position) {  
var percent = 100\*my\_sound.getBytesLoaded()/my\_sound.getBytesTotal();  
my\_txt.text = “Buffering “+Math.floor(percent)+”%”;  
} else {  
my\_txt.text = “Playing”;  
}  
position = my\_sound.position;  
};

what the problem is:

when i load a mp3, no problem  
when i load a wav, what i need, it buffers but doesnt play the wav file…

also

how can i embed windows media player into flash to play an external avi file?  
i can do it in html using javascript but how to do this within flash?

these were my questions of today…  
thank you
