media player script

[imladris]

the following script is working great, but can anyone tell me how i would amend the it, so that the mp3 doesn't start playing until it is fully loaded

thanks

imladris

onClipEvent (load) {
Sound = new Sound();
Sound.LoadSound("iwd.mp3", true);
Sound.start();

}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.dl4=Sound.getBytesLoaded()/1024;
_root.dl5=Sound.getBytesTotal()/1024;
Sound.onSoundComplete = function() {_root.gotoAndPlay("MENU");}

}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
Sound.setVolume(_root.volume);
Sound.setPan(_root.pan);

}

onClipEvent (load) {
Sound = new Sound();
Sound.LoadSound("iwd.mp3", false);
Sound.start();
}


In other words: the sound is not streamed.

d'oh !!!!

what an idiot i am hahahahahahahaha

[imladris]

i've replaced the true with false and the song now loads in full but the song doesn't start playing after loading is complete - any thoughts???

the full script is now :

onClipEvent (load) {
Sound = new Sound();

Sound.LoadSound("iwd.mp3", false);
Sound.start();


}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.dl4=Sound.getBytesLoaded()/1024;
_root.dl5=Sound.getBytesTotal()/1024;
//to load the next song
Sound.onSoundComplete = function() {_root.gotoAndPlay("MENU");}


}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
Sound.setVolume(_root.volume);
Sound.setPan(_root.pan);

}

Remove the Sound.start(); from "onClipEvent (load)" and create this function:

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

ok - i now have the following, but the mp3 still doesn't play -
onClipEvent (load) {
Sound = new Sound();
//to stream
Sound.LoadSound("iwd.mp3", false);
Sound.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
Sound.start();
}
};


}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.dl4=Sound.getBytesLoaded()/1024;
_root.dl5=Sound.getBytesTotal()/1024;
//to load the next song
Sound.onSoundComplete = function() {_root.gotoAndPlay("MENU");}


}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
Sound.setVolume(_root.volume);
Sound.setPan(_root.pan);

}

Ohhh ...

Script for the child movieclip :

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.dl4=Sound.getBytesLoaded()/1024;
_root.dl5=Sound.getBytesTotal()/1024;
Sound.onSoundComplete = function() {_root.gotoAndPlay("MENU");}
Sound.setVolume(_root.volume);
Sound.setPan(_root.pan);

}

Script INSIDE of the child movieclip:

Sound = new Sound();
Sound.LoadSound("iwd.mp3", false);
Sound.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
Sound.start();
}
};
stop();


I'm going home now.
