Hey, I have an mp3 on my little site, but when It is supposed to load, instead of the percentage number, its just says NaN, anyone know why?  
Here my code:

```auto

AudioXml = new XML();
AudioXml.ignoreWhite = true;
AudioXml.onLoad = LoadXmlFile;
AudioXml.load(playListPath);
function LoadXmlFile(success) {
 if (success) {
  aPath = new Array();
  asongTitle = new Array();
  aAudio = new Array();
  aAudio = this.firstChild.childNodes;
  AudioTotal = aAudio.length;
  for (i=0; i<AudioTotal; i++) {
   if (aAudio*.nodeName == "AudioProps") {
	aPath.push(aAudio*.attributes.path);
	asongTitle.push(aAudio*.attributes.songTitle);
   }
  }
  AudioPath = aPath[0];
  tAuthor = asongTitle[0];
  AudioActual = 1;
  tCount = AudioActual+" Of "+AudioTotal;
  tText = "Xml Loaded";
 } else {
  tText = "Xml not loaded";
 }
}
Ff.onPress = function() {
 if (AudioActual<AudioTotal) {
  AudioActual += 1;
  AudioPath = aPath[AudioActual-1];
  tAuthor = asongTitle[AudioActual-1];
  MySound.stop();
  Mystatus = "Press Play";
 }
};
Rw.onPress = function() {
 if (AudioActual>1) {
  AudioActual -= 1;
  AudioPath = aPath[AudioActual-1];
  tAuthor = aSongTitle[AudioActual-1];
  MySound.stop();
  Mystatus = "Press Play";
 }
};
PlayBtn.onPress = function() {
 if (FlagPausa == true) {
  MySound.start(SoundPausePos, 0);
  FlagPausa = false;
  SoundPausePos = undefined;
 } else {
  MySound = new Sound();
  volume = 100;
  MySound.setVolume(volume);
  MySound.loadSound(AudioPath, StreamFlag);
  FlagPausa = false;
  _parent.onEnterFrame = function() {
   TB = MySound.getBytesTotal();
   BL = MySound.getBytesLoaded();
   if (BL != TB) {
	TheText2.text = Math.round((BL/TB)*100)+"% Loaded";
   } else {
	TheText2.text = "100% Loaded";
	delete _parent.onEnterFrame;
	MySound.start();
   }
  };
 }
};
StopBtn.onPress = function() {
 MySound.stop();
 Mystatus = "Press Play";
};
PauseBtn.onPress = function() {
 SoundPausePos = MySound.position/1000;
 MySound.stop();
 FlagPausa = true;
};
volUp.onPress = function() {
 if (volume == 100) {
  volume = 100;
 } else {
  volume += 10;
  MySound.setVolume(volume);
 }
};
volDown.onPress = function() {
 if (volume == 0) {
  volume = 0;
 } else {
  volume -= 10;
  MySound.setVolume(volume);
 }
};

```

Thanks,

nope.  
u tried putting tracers in for BL and TB?  
also, have you tried swapping out _theText2.text_ for a variable and tracing that (or setting that as a text boxes text)

Prophet.

PS actually, looking at it again, it looks like it could be a pathing problem… if you are using _\_parent.onEnterFrame_ dont forget that the arguements inside will have a _this_ value of the movieclip itself, NOT where you have defined the code… if that makes ANY sense what so ever! lol

NaN = Not a number. look for where you’re setting a variable that has to be a number.  
by looking at your code, i’m thinking it’s the StreamFlag variable.  
you haven’t set it and yet you are trying to use it to load the sound. 🙂

try tracing variables BL and TB and see if both of them are numbers, and not _undefined_ which would generate the error you are describing.

Ok, I used  
trace (BL);  
and  
trace (TB;

to check them, and they both turned out to be undefined. How do I get it to work?

Real noob on as

hey, i have no idea if this will help, but i had a Nan issue with a dynamic preloader and the reason was because i typed the typed the filename incorrectly in my code. go back and look at how you have the .mp3 on your server spelled. and make sure if a letter is capitalized you type it the same exact way in your code. that may not be it at all, but give it a check just to make sure.
