Hi,

What are your thoughts on using flash to preview music on an online music site. What are the pros and cons. Most important I am concerned about the security of the data (music files).

I do php scripting as well and I read up on how I could pass various info e.g file name to the swf via flashvars dynamically, and then use that to stream in a track for playing.

I am not to clear on how I should go about everything, so I thought I would as you experts on the forum how would you go about something like that and what concerns I need to address.

Thnaks guys…
