Re: [Flashcoders] AIR and external mp3's
Hi John, Yes I have developed apps that use external mp3 files, that was a last year so I'm trying to remember if we had any gotchyas. It should work. Are you sure you are bundling the mp3 files properly with your app so they exist on the iPad? If I come up with any ideas I'll let you know. cheers, Rob On 2012-03-15, at 2:25 PM, John R.

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR and external mp3's
Hi John,
Yes, I have a couple apps out their on iPad. One specifically does indeed
play external mp3s loaded from a sub directory. It also records and plays
back wavs.
All doable.
I haven't responded because I did the last one approximately 10 months ago
and really don't recall the details. I do vaguely remember some hurdles,
but I think most of the struggle revolved around recording sounds.
I just found where I loaded the mp3 - perhaps this helps?
public static function playMP3File(sound_id:String):void
{
var existFile:File = File.applicationDirectory .resolvePath("mp3s/sound_" +
sound_id + ".mp3");
if(existFile.exists)
{
sound_playing = true;
existFile.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onfileOpenLoad);
existFile.load();
function onfileOpenLoad(evt:Event):void
{
existFile.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onfileOpenLoad);
var song:Sound = new Sound()
song.load(new URLRequest(existFile.url));//nativePath
mp3channel = song.play();
mp3channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE,
doSoundComplete);
}
function doSoundComplete(e:Event):void
{
mp3channel.removeEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, doSoundComplete);
sound_playing = false;
}
}
}

So no one has dabbled in iPad apps? That's a bit surprising or is that saying "don't"? :( John R.

Re: [Flashcoders] AIR and external mp3's
Have you tried running your mp3 through iTunes converter and using an exported mp3 from that? Might be a quick fix. Best, Karl On Mar 14, 2012, at 1:57 PM, John R.
