[flexcoders] reading id3 tags off external mp3 files?

Sun, 07 May 2006 05:53:20 -0700

hi all

I have been trying to read id3 tags off an mp3 file but have been unable to do so. My code fires the ID3 handler unction but when at that moment i try to parse the id3 array of the sound object, it comes up as 0. its really frustrating. Is it something i am doing wrong ? Here is my code :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
    import flash.util.trace;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.media.Sound;
    import flash.media.SoundChannel;
    import flash.events.*;
           
        private var song:SoundChannel;
        private var soundFactory:Sound;
       
       public function playSong(url) {
            var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
            soundFactory = new Sound();
            soundFactory.addEventListener(Event.ID3, id3Handler);
            var sc = new SoundLoaderContext(15000,true);
            soundFactory.load(request, sc);
           
        }

        private function id3Handler(event:Event):void {
            trace(event.currentTarget.id3.length); //comes up  0
        }

        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Button label="play" click="playSong('worldwide_suicide2.mp3')" x="105" y="202"/>
    <mx:TextArea x="105" y="30" width="165" height="164" id="txt"/>
    <mx:Button x="205" y="202" label="check" click="{this.txt.text+= 'check' + String(this.soundFactory.id3.TIT1+'\n')}"/>
        </mx:Application>



Any help would be appreciated

thanks
