i have been trying include sound in a website i am doing the problem it takes a long time to run as it downloads the sound file first. is there a way i can have the sound playing almost instantly with some buffering ? i would also like to include a progress bar of the sound playing as well as the amount of the file that has been loaded ready to play.
i was told it was possible and straight forward to do in flash.
if any one can let me know by providing instructions or a sample file i can customze.
thank for your help
