If you are storing references from each MP3 to the appropriate actor in a
database, you can simply create a CFC to retrieve the actor information
(including the file reference) - given you have the files available on the
web somewhere (http://www.actorsite.com/mp3/*).
Here's what your CFC might look like:
<cfcomponent>
<cfparam name="Request.DSN" default="ActorDB">
<cffunction name="getActorList" access="remote">
<cfquery name="selActorList" datasource="#Request.DSN#">
SELECT ActorID, ActorFirstName,
ActorLastName, ActorMP3
FROM Actor
ORDER BY ActorLastName, ActoFirstName
</cfquery>
<cfreturn selActorList>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
And here's what your AS code might look like:
#include "NetServices.as"
var IS_STREAMING = true;
var HOST_NAME = "localhost";
var MP3_PATH = "/mp3";
// Create a UDF to call the CFC method
function getActorList()
{
// Call the method: Actor.getActorList()
svc.getActorList();
}
// Create a UDF to be called back by NetServices
function getActorList_Result(actorList)
{
// Load in the name and sound of the first actor
_level0.dspActorName = actorList.getItemAt[0].ActorFirstName;
_level0.dspActorName += " ";
_level0.dspActorName += actorList.getItemAt[0].ActorLastName
var currentSound = "http://"; + HOST_NAME + MP3_PATH
+ "/" +
actorList.getItemAt[0].ActorMP3;
_level0.loadSound(currentSound,IS_STREAMING);
}
// Given that we are working on localhost and have placed
// Actor.cfc beneath the web root at /com
if (init == null)
{
gatewayURL = "http://"; + HOST_NAME + "/flashservices/gateway";
NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl(gatewayURL);
conn = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
svcAddr = "com.Actor";
svc = conn.getService(svcAddr, this);
init = true;
}
There is much more to do than just this, but hopefully it steers you in the
right direction.
