I’ve searched the fora and also looked at the excellent tutorial that one of the members has posted a link to, however;

I have a very simple use of loadSound, on it’s own layer, on the [COLOR=black]only timeline[/COLOR] I have,

> myMusic = new Sound();  
> myMusic.loadSound(“music1.mp3”,true);

music1.mp3 is 1.5meg and is in the same folder as the SWF.

Locally, this works fine, when I test the movie within Flash, the mp3 starts to play almost straight away.

The problem is that when I moved everything up to my server, the mp3 doesnt play. The .swf and the music1.mp3 are in the same folder on the server.

[COLOR=black]I don’t think I need to give the full path to the mp3 do I ?[/COLOR]

I tried moving the mp3 to it’s own folder and changing the code to

> myMusic.loadSound(“BBRmusic/music.mp3”,true)  
> but still no joy.

Am I missing something here ?

Thank you, this is driving me nuts.
