Streaming MP3 (preload questions)

1

Hi,
I want to use a streming MP3 to play a song while my flash movie plays. I have a movie calling to an external MP3

[font=Arial][size=3]
[left]s = new Sound();s.loadSound(“C:/myMusic/song.mp3”,true);[/left]
[left] [/left]

[left]so it works fine. Here is my problem. I have a “fake” EQ animation going but this animation starts the second the movie is loaded and the MP3 has a bit of a delay before it starts playing (my guess is that the Mp3 is caching at this time to be able to stream) so…is there a way to have the EQ animation wait for the Mp3 to cache and start streaming/playing (sort of tie them together)[/left]

[left]Thanks in advance =)[/left]

You can do it with checking for the sound position, if this is greater then 0 the sound is playing.

s = new Sound(this);
s.loadSound("C:/myMusic/song.mp3", true);
tmp = _root.createEmptyMovieClip("temp", 1);
tmp.onEnterFrame = function() {
	if (s.position>0) {
		//do your stuff;
		delete this.onEnterFrame;
	}
};

To see it really work you have to upload the file, for some reason (?) s.position in flash alone doesn’t work…(at least I’m having trouble with it)
