[flexcoders] Flex2/FP9 Final Bug : cannot play MP3 files encoded with iTunes

Tue, 11 Jul 2006 07:18:33 -0700

Hi,
 
When trying to load an MP3 file encoded with iTunes (latest one v6.0.5.20), the MP3 starts playing but it stops when the loading is completed.
An Event.COMPLETE is generated just followed by an Event.SOUND_COMPLETE (whereas the sound is not completed at all and should continue to play).
After that, it is not possible to start the MP3 anymore.
It might be an ID3 issue? (apparently, the ID3Info are not properly loaded)
 
Here is a template to reproduce the problem, a copy/paste from the LiveDocs.
It works fine with any MP3 files not encoded with iTunes.
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" creationComplete="creationCompleteHandler()">
 
 <mx:Script>
  <![CDATA[
   import flash.media.Sound;
      import flash.media.SoundChannel;
      import flash.net.URLRequest;
      import flash.utils.Timer;
   
   private var soundUrl:String = "http://localhost/SomeITunesEncodedFile.mp3";
         private var soundFactory:Sound;
         private var channel:SoundChannel;
         private var positionTimer:Timer;
 
         public function creationCompleteHandler():void {
             var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(soundUrl);
             soundFactory = new Sound();
             soundFactory.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
             soundFactory.addEventListener(Event.ID3, id3Handler);
             soundFactory.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioErrorHandler);
             soundFactory.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
             soundFactory.load(request);
 
             channel = soundFactory.play();
             channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, soundCompleteHandler);
 
             positionTimer = new Timer(50);
             positionTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, positionTimerHandler);
             positionTimer.start();
         }
        
 
         private function positionTimerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void {
             trace("positionTimerHandler: " + channel.position.toFixed(2));
         }
 
         private function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
             trace("completeHandler: " + event);
         }
 
         private function id3Handler(event:Event):void {
             trace("id3Handler: " + event);
         }
 
         private function ioErrorHandler(event:Event):void {
             trace("ioErrorHandler: " + event);
             positionTimer.stop();      
         }
 
         private function progressHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void {
             trace("progressHandler: " + event);
         }
 
         private function soundCompleteHandler(event:Event):void {
             trace("soundCompleteHandler: " + event);
             positionTimer.stop();
         }
  ]]>
 </mx:Script>
 
</mx:Application>
