[fugli] Re: Preloaded and the sound object

Yep, loading it as an .mp3, or as swf file is best.

Here's another thought (but not as sweet): if you didn't want to do 
that, alternatively you could place the sound in the timeline (say from 
frame 2), leave the "export for ActionScript" box checked, but unckeck 
the "export in first frame" box. That way, you can include the 60k in 
your preload and still control the sound using the sound object.

loading the .mp3 file
and stream it, so the user wont have to wait till the whole 60k is 
loaded to
start the audio

load it from an mp3 file....  use this code (below) :

//load up a track
track= new Sound();
track.loadSound("knightrider.mp3",true);
track.start(cue, 1)

Subject: [fugli] Preloaded and the sound object

Hi All,

I have a flash piece where i have a sound file playing over multiple
scenes.
In order to do this i have had to use the sound object as below..

// start playing the music, this is on the first frame of the first
scene
of
the preloader....
mySound_sound = new Sound();
mySound_sound.attachSound("circusmusic");
mySound_sound.start();
This sound file is about 60K currently and is set to load on the 
first
frame
in the linkage settings dialouge. So what happens is the entire 
sound is
loaded before the preloader starts playing... Hence the user on a 56K
modem
has to wait even before seeing the preloader info etc.. Which isnt a
great
soltuion.. If i disable the option "load on first frame", the sound 
dotn
play at all.

Can anyone think of another way to get the sound playing without 
forcing
the
user to wait and watch a blank screen for 15secs etc??

TIA

Jason
