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 _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
