Problem loading multiple mp3 using one loading bar??

[flashpipe1]

I've got a file that uses several mp3 files that I want to preload before starting and I can't get it working...

Here's the code...anyone see a problem? It "looks" like it works locally, but, as soon as I upload it, it doesn't work...I'm hard-coding the file size for the percentage because I want the progress bar to use the size from all the loaded mp3s (3.1 MB)...

//array of audio files
var my_array:Array = new Array("music", "aud1", "aud2", "aud3", "aud4", "aud5", "aud6", "aud7", "aud8");
var k:Number = 0;
//var tracks total bytes loaded
var sizeLoaded:Number = 0;
//starts the first sound loading
var my_audio:Sound = new Sound();
my_audio.loadSound("audio/"+my_array[k]+".mp3",false);
my_audio.setVolume(0);
//this clip has the progress bar (loadbar) and text display (percentage)
audioLoader_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
	if (k<my_array.length-1) {
		if (((my_audio.getBytesLoaded()/my_audio.getBytesTotal())*100)>99) {
                        sizeLoaded+=sizeLoaded+my_audio.getBytesTotal();
			k++;
			var my_audio:Sound = new Sound();
			my_audio.loadSound("audio/"+my_array[k]+".mp3",false);
			my_audio.setVolume(0);
		} else {
			this.loadbar._width = (sizeLoaded+my_audio.getBytesLoaded()/3100000)*100;
			percentage = (sizeLoaded+my_audio.getBytesLoaded()/3100000)*100;
		}
	} else {
		delete this.onEnterFrame();
		this._parent.gotoAndPlay("label1");
	}
};

Hey, I am trying to figure out how to do this too. Did you get an answer? Looking at your code I was wondering about this part:

var my_audio:Sound = new Sound();
my_audio.loadSound("audio/"+my_array[k]+".mp3",false);

if this keeps gettin called over and over, won't my_audio just be the last sound in your array?

My code does not work either but part of it looks like this:

var SoundSet:Array;
function loadSoundSet(mLabel,mov_num){
SoundSet = new Array();

var i;
for(i=0; i<10;i++){
path = "thePathToMyMP3Set/theFileSeriesPrefix"+i+".mp3";
varholder.SoundSet[i] = new Sound(varholder);
var url:String = path;
varholder.SoundSet[i].loadSound(url, true);
}
}

I haven't figured this out yet...I basically just set up several frames in a row and loaded each sound one at a time...not ideal, but it worked.

I was calling the loadSound in the loop just to start the loading for the current sound, not to play them. I played the loaded sound I wanted on the appropriate frame within the movie.

I've got several other projects coming up like this, but will probably do them in AS3, so I'll figure it out for that...

Wow, fast reply. Actually just got it working in my application. This is what I did. Hope it helps:

//declare an array to hold the sounds
varholder.BFSoundSet = new Array();

/*this function is called when I want to load a set of sounds (I am loading sets of about 20 short mp3's) stored in diferent files*/

function loadSoundSet(mLabel,mov_num){
var i;
for(i=1; i<11;i++){
path = mLabel+"/src/"+mLabel+mov_num+"/bf"+i+".mp3";
varholder.BFSoundSet[i] = new Sound(varholder);
var url:String = path;
varholder.BFSoundSet[i].loadSound(url, false);
}

function playIt(mySound){
varholder.BFSoundSet[mySound].start();
}

Excellent!! I'll give that a shot!

Thanks!!
