If I may rephrase that first sentence:
There is no way to get the actual duration of a *loading* mp3 through
the Sound class.

Since mySound.duration reflects *loaded* duration - there is no way to
get the actual duration of a loaded mp3 through the Sound class.
A work around and what I've been doing: Divide mySound.getBytesLoaded by
mySound.getBytesTotal to get a percentage of the song that is currently
loaded; and then take mySound.duration and divide that by the percentage
loaded. Provided that the duration property of mySound is accurately
representing the amount of ms loaded, I should arrive at an accurate
result.
Unfortunately, both properties do not synchronize 100%, and the duration
value progressively gains accuracy as the mp3 loads, opposed to getting
a correct duration immediately.
I would really like to find a more accurate way. Ideally I would like to
get the complete duration of a loaded mp3 through flash immediately upon
stream so the end-user doesn't see the progress bar jutting backwards
and the total duration value slowly increasing as the song
loads--without depending on external scripts or an xml playlist file...etc.
Any help / insight appreciated,
Joseph Sorensen
