[F9/AS2] - Streaming Radio Feed?

[gotoAndCrash]

Greetings all,
Is it possible to stream a radio station's internet radio feed into flash?
Can anyone point me in the direction of tutorials?

Unless your stream comes from a Flash media server, playing radio streams through Flash will be problematic for two reasons.

1) Flash sound object does not support packet based streaming, so the audio stream will essentially be a large mp3 that accumulates in RAM during the stream. At some point Flash will stop loading the mp3 because it has exceeded available RAM. This might cause problems for some end user's computers.

2) There have been problems with the IE ActiveX control not recognizing mp3 streamed from some servers. I think it was shoutcast that did not work well in the past. Perhaps this works better with Flash 9 but you still have the above problem to contend with.

Flash player supports packet based streaming through Flash media server and netconnection object. You might ask more about this in the Flash media/communication server forum.
