So you're saying that for instance dj's and producers won't be able to put their mix online anymore? That 'd be a mayor step back! So I shouldn't use video?
So you're saying we all have to use realplayer or mediaplayer instead of flash again?

You really should read the whole thread, this issue should be fixed soon
I did,
but after 4 days of trying to debug the mp3-player i built without succes, posting the issue, thinking i was going crazy and finally hearing the problem is a flashplayer-problem, this was an answer that really really pissed me off!! I'm sure MM 'll fix it but it still hurts.

I continue to have issues with pre-loading @ 1 -1.5Mb files (never more than 4 Mb resident in the player at anytime) into a 'controller'. Seems to only happen on Win2K boxes, but with both the plug-in and a projector... Either the player crashes or the audio (pre-loaded, stream) will cut out. Happens at random. I would be curious to hear of your above mentioned "memory issue" - perhaps it is something that is related to my problems.Quote:

Thanks -
lol i have problems streaming a 40Kb file! :) the thing is... i want it to stream from another movie... so i would like to preload the preloader spike.... but i cant because flash wants to download the whole flaming thing, that isnt supposed to stream yet :(
Macromedia's fixed ActiveX player is now available for download! The original version was 6.0.23.0 and this version is 6.0.25.0.

WOOHOO!!!
I wonder, does it fix any of the other minor bugs in the Flash player?
I am getting the same old results. Am I doing something wrong? I have installed. Resarted Browser. Restarted Computer. Reinstalled. No change.
I dunno what's up with that. I went there, it seemed to reinstall the Flash plugin, but my version is still 6,0,23,0.
Earlier somebody posted this on Were-here, and I figured it was false because no new plugin installed itself there.
And the plugin it installs is still digitally signed 3/11/02 - DOH! *note to self - test before you post*
Bah.
Lets just wait till Mike Chambers tells us offically that there is a new player.
Macromedia indeed lists it as web player 6.0.25.0. The sample movie's object tag even uses #6.0.25.0 as the version control number in the HTML tag. However, even after manually uninstalling Flash Player 6, the old 6.0.23.0 version still gets downloaded. My feeling is that the guy who was supposed to post the file on the server was slower than the guy who did the update on the HTML. Oh well. Let's just wait a few hours for this guy to wake up.
fyi : I am not working today, and will be in and out.
I have sent an email to find out if the new player has been uploaded yet. if it hasn't then the new one will be up shortly.
as soon as a find out that the new player is avaliable i will post here.

The correct version should be up shortly.

Really Cool.
I don't want to bug you on your day off, Mike -- but was anything aside from the Streaming bug fixed? If so, is/will there be there a technote describing this?
I'm sure a fix was a lot higher on the priority list than documentation :)
i believe that there was also a related memory bug fixed. i will try and get a definitive list later on.Quote:

i also believe the new player fixes some issues people were having about controlling the mp3s.

ooo, the fix is close!!
Mike, do you mean being able to use the mySound.start() command with an offset or somesuch?
since i don't know 100% i am not going to say anything yet. i will wait until i get an offical list.Quote:

that way there won't be any confusion or misunderstanding.

Thanks Mike,
doing a great job.
I thought I'd add a function here to get the minor version,
I know it's available all over the place and most of you can write it easily yourselves,
but seeing as this is the place to look...
hope that helps someone out.Code:// this script is for use within Flash
// after you have detected for the existance
// of at least version 5 of the Flash plugin
_global.minorVersion = function() {
var fullVersion = getVersion();
var minorVersion = Number(fullVersion.substr(8, 2));
return minorVersion;
}
// usage:
if (_global.minorVersion() < 25) {
// get them to upgrade
} else {
// continue
}
amended to include the method in the _global namespace, as per Mike Chambers suggestion (page 14 of this thread)
Mike has included instructions to get this included in a Flash movie without having to type it every time.
enjoy.
