Re: [Flashcoders] Bitrate discrepancy in AS3 streaming?
I should have been a little clearer. I made an MP# plater in AS3. I made a seekbar so the user can skip to the end of the mix. I've checked and rechecked my math, and everything looks good. I use the math to determine a new amount of milliseconds to tell the sound object to switch the position to like this: play(seekPosition); I am streaming in files of different bitrates. The files that are at 192kbps are giving me a strange problem where I can't reach the end and even if I'm providing the proper millisecond target, they are losing about 2 minutes at the end of the stream. The file that was encoded at 128kbps doesn't have this same problem, I can skip all the way to the end of the file, in fact in some instances I was able to skip past the end of the file. This is what led me to believe that the problem was not my math, but how Flash was receiving these files in the stream. The part that confused me was I let one of the 192kbps files stream completely without touching the seekbar and it reached the correct end of the file, but I couldn't get it to do this after I had seeked. Can anyone clarify what is going on here?

It could be that you're embedding .mp3 files in the library, then further compressing them. You can play around with those settings, but if you're bringing in audio that's already .mp3-compressed, you shouldn't need to compress if further in Flash.

Re: [Flashcoders] Bitrate discrepancy in AS3 streaming?
Hi everyone, Through a bit of searching of other flashcoders emails I found this topic had been discussed before and my problem was accurately targeting milliseconds in the 44.1khz. I was using some MP3s encoded at 48khz. Sorry to rehash a previous bug discussion. On Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 1:55 PM, Shant Parseghian [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I should have been a little clearer.
