import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
import flash.net.URLRequest;

var song=”som48.mp3″;
var snd:Sound = new Sound();
var channel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();

function playMusic(songSource:String) {
var req:URLRequest=new URLRequest(song);
snd = new Sound();
snd.load(req);
channel = new SoundChannel();
channel=snd.play();
}

function stopMusic() {
channel.stop();
}

How to play this?

Any suggestions?

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks for your quick reply.
I’m already using a timer to check the track length. qnd to start the fade out before the end of the track.
I think I’ll use also the SOUND_COMPLETE event to prevent the “middle track stop” bug.
Coz after all only a few percent of my mp3s are concerned with this issue… (maybe these are corrupted files or sth like this…)

I’ll also check the track length against the ID3 property after the stream has completly loaded.

Again, many thanks for pointing these directions.

Cheers,

Thanks a lot for the tip.
I have ran into another problem with the AS3 Sound API,
I’m trying to make a MP3 streaming server (check the url : http://yaass-project.sourceforge.net/).
On some case, the playing will just stop despite all the stream being loaded on the client side.
And when i go forward on the track (the player have this feature) it will play again.

(Using the third method :
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(song);
snd = new Sound();
snd.load(req);
channel = new SoundChannel();
channel = snd.play();
)

It seems that the SOUND_COMPLETE event is firing too early.
And the fact is that i dont want to rely on this event to end the playback (or to skip to the next track) since i also implemented a crossfading feeature (still buggy right now )

Do you have any idea or clue ?
I tried to find some resoucrces or tutos on this and find only this blog

Thanks in advance
