Hi Aaron,
The sounds are 5 seconds or less in duration. Thanks for the
suggestion, but I really want to know why this breaks in I.E. via
web, as this works just fine in Netscape and Firefox. Also works fine
in I.E. locally, just not over the web. Yet I.E. is caching the mp3's
as they're called from the web server -- it just won't play them. I
could add a Sound.onLoad listener to start the file playing, but this
shouldn't be necessary and I'm not even sure it would fix the
problem. Also, I tried resetting I.E. to its default settings, but no use.
Would like to hear from anyone who is familiar with this problem.

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 conclusive.
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
