I would recommend using a mediaDisplay for mp3s. Especially if there
lengthy.. say 3 min or avg song length. The media display won't actually
display anything for mp3's. it just gives you access to the sound. I
would reccommend it just beacuse there are more properties and methods
available for the media display. its easier to use.
myMedia.setMedia(fileURI, "MP3 | FLV");

I am not aware of any problems with mediaDisplay's in IE. So give it a shot.
if your using just short sound effects then yes.. use a sound object.
Which if thats the case, I don't have any reccommendations at this point
for your IE problem......

I've seen some discussion of this in the archives, but nothing

My Flash 8 movie creates a sound object and uses loadSound
(dynamicFilename,true) to play any of a number of mp3 files off the
server. Works fine locally and in Netscape but breaks in I.E. when
played via the web.
Looking in the I.E. cache, I see that the mp3's are getting loaded
when requested; they just don't play. If I type the URL of the mp3
file into I.E.'s address window, I can get the mp3 to open and play in
Windows MediaPlayer. On a few occasions, I can then get Flash to play
the same sound, but it almost always fails.
I've tried absolute paths (http://mydomain/folder/filename.mp3) as
well as relative paths (../filename.mp3 -OR- filename.mp3) in the
loadSound argument -- makes no difference. And as I said, the files
ARE being downloaded into cache, they just don't get played in the
swf. They're all located in the same server folder as the .swf.
Anybody have a clue why this is breaking in I.E. 6?
thanks,
Marc
