Hi Kerry. I have found the easiest way to using streaming SWA over the net
is to first use Insert -> Media Element -> Shockwave Audio. I link this to
a "dummy" file and then dynamically change this cast member attributes
(URL), as opposed to creating a new SWA object from scratch. This allows
you to use the preloadBuffer member "dummy" operation after you have set the
URL.
ex.
swaFile = "http://www.lobo.net/~bryantek/mp3/167a1.mp3"
member( "dummy" ).url = swaFile
preloadBuffer member "dummy"
Then on your play button you would have something like this.
if member( "dummy" ).state < 9 then --- state, not status
-- no error has occurred
play member "dummy"
end if
Please note this all off the top of my head, but I hope this helps.
Ryan
