Hello All. I'm new to the flash mailing list (as in, today) and relatively new to flash (about 2 months). I'm loving flash and excited to have found this great mailing list! ;o)
John, I am a newbie to flash so please take my help lightly. ;o) But I think what you want is to set _soundbuftime . This is a property of every movieclip, but it is a global variable, Check for it in the Actionscript dictionary. ;o) Good luck. -Justin Bishop On 1/5/06, John Olson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If I load an external MP3 into the Flash player and set up Flash to load it > as a streaming event, when does it start to play? > > In the AS2 language reference, it states : "Streaming sounds play while they > are downloading.
