If you want to stream them you need to do insert-media

I guess you can't use streaming mp3 in soundobjects (queue, playNext

Hi Andreas,
But if I resize the sprite (using width or rect or whatever) and load
new members into it, every image will be resized to the set sprite
dimensions.
Compensating for this creates all kinds of flickering and
inconssistent behavior for the end user. (See example* further down.)
on last thing. how do you create a program that checks the version of your systems
quicktime and director components?
