Hi everybody, need help.  
\*\*The case: \*\*I have a “some.swf” which must load an external MP3 file passed him through a “some.php?song\_id=xxx” file. Everything woks fine. I load that MP3 file via loadSound().  
**The matter** : loading (not playing) of the external MP3 file should stop when “x” seconds of the MP3 file are loaded.

P.S. This is for a dynamic low-bitrate preview of an MP3 file for “x” seconds.:rambo:
