I am using this tutorial / FLA for some work;
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/volume\_slider.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/volume_slider.htm)
However, I want to stream a large(ish) file so want it playing while it still downloads.
Can anyone help me with the actionscript here, so instead of downloading then playing, it plays automatically (or even better, after a 15 second wait);
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
downloaded = mySound.getBytesLoaded();
total = mySound.getBytesTotal();
if (downloaded != total) {
\_root.dl = “downloading song…”;
} else {
complete = 1;
\_root.dl = “”;
}

By streaming the sound, it starts playing automatically after a certain amount has been downloaded 🙂 You play a sound streaming by using loadSound(“file.mp3”,true), where true indicates streaming and false not streaming.

Thanks, but decided to go with another audio player - [www.hopkins-online.co.uk/gtr/click.html](http://www.hopkins-online.co.uk/gtr/click.html)
