Aaron,
I tried onLoad and it didn't seem to help, but I'm losing mental
focus. Time to get some sleep, but depending whatever other feedback
I get from the list, I will try a test file in the morning.
Thanks,
Marc

Marc,
Yeah i guess try adding an onLoad. It should only take a sec. Test
it out and see if it helps. if not, try creating a seperate fla for
testing just this one issue. see what that does. if it still a bug
in IE i would like to see that test fla.

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
