auto stream MP3 into flash from external file (not via XML)

[elamberdor]

Hi All!
I've got a streaming MP3 from a folder on the site to load on PLAY/STOP buttons, and volume slide okay, but I need it to AUTO PLAY when on a frame of the movie. It's about 2mb.

(just so when you get into the site the background music plays auomatically, then the user can adjust volume or stop if they need to)

Any ideas?

(Here's my actionscript) How can I add to this script to auto play the file as well?

var mySound:Sound = new Sound();
mySound.loadSound("mySound.mp3", true);
mySound.stop();
btnStop.onRelease = function():Void  {
    mySound.stop();
};
btnPlay.onRelease = function():Void  {
    mySound.start();
};
var nVolCheck:Number;
mcVolSlider.volBall.onPress = function():Void  {
    this.startDrag(false, 0, 0, 400, 0);
    nVolCheck = setInterval(updateVolume, 100);
};
mcVolSlider.volBall.onRelease = function():Void  {
    this.stopDrag();
    clearInterval(nVolCheck);
};
function updateVolume():Void {
    var vol:Number = (mcVolSlider.volBall._x)/4;
    mySound.setVolume(vol);
    mcVolSlider.volBall.volText.text = vol;
}
 

any ideas at all would be helpful!
Thanks in advance guys!

Hi All,

Hi, elamberdor!
The script that you posted is for the background music, isn't it?
If you want the code to start playing as soon as it finished loading you can do it but setting the start method inside it's onload. Like this:

mySound.onLoad = function(success) {
     if(success) {
          this.start();
     }
}
 

In any case, your sound is streaming, so you can just do mySound.start() and it will start playing what has already loaded.

Please post back and tell me if this answers your question.

Kind regards,

PD: Sorry if I missed any "k". I'm not in my house now, and this keyboard has a crummy k.

Hiya The_Nephilim!!

Your "k's" are just fine! As so is the code! :)
Definitely background music, I placed this in after the load.sound function... and it worked perfectly!

Thanks heaps and as always very helpful!
