Hi there,

I want to be able to do this:

When you click a button, you start listening a mp3 file that is on my web server( streaming file), but i was told you have to publish your movie has  
quicktime…  
You can´t have remote link mp3 files on a SWF.

Does anyone ever tried this?

Any help would be great…

:cyclops:

Thanks,
