Hello again…

I need some help with creating a progress bar for a mp3 player that loads mp3s with loadSound()

The problem is that the progress bar is not working correctly while the music is streaming (not completely downloaded to cache).

I can understand why it is so… (sound.duration is changing untill download is complete)

I have a simple progress bar… no masking etc:- … just using the good old “\_xscale”  
now how to correct the problem… please advice…

☹ please

But this will show the loaded percentage i want the progress bar to show the current position percentage, because later this will be used as a seek bar as well

[quote=vamsig;2323505]Hello Friend,

I think it will help full for you… Please the following code… If in case you get any problem let me know…

var mysound:Sound = new Sound();  
mysound.loadSound(“audio name”);  
var lod:Number = mysound.getBytesLoaded();  
var total:Number = mysound.getBytesTotal();  
per = (lod/total)\*100;  
progressbar.\_xscale = per;[/quote]

You have to use the same logic but replace _mysound.getBytesTotal();_ by _mysound.duration;_ and _mysound.getBytesLoaded();_ by _mysound.position;_.  
Check Sound class on flash help.
