SoundEffect, reload an IO_ERROR

[scott matheson]

Hi
    We have been looking at this for some time and can not find a solution, 

when using soundEffect, if  we pick up an IO_ERROR  most often due to network 
issue, we would like to try and re-load the the sound, but we can not seem to 
get this to work, maybe we are just taking the wrong approach ?

this is our code, this code is part of an item render

package com.peach.uofs.common
{
import com.peach.Analytics;
import com.peach.uofs.model.UofSModel;

import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
import flash.utils.getQualifiedClassName;

import mx.effects.SoundEffect;
import mx.logging.ILogger;
import mx.logging.Log;

public class UofSSoundEffect extends SoundEffect
   {
      
      public var _uofsModel:UofSModel = UofSModel.getInstance(); 

      public function UofSSoundEffect(target:Object=null)
      {
          this.instanceClass = UofSSoundEffectInstance;
         super(target);
         logger = Log.getLogger(getQualifiedClassName(this).replace('::', '.'));
         this.source = whitespace;
      }
      
      private var logger:ILogger;
      
      private var fileSize:Number;
      
      [Embed(source="whitespace.mp3", mimeType="audio/mpeg")]
      private var whitespace:Class;

      private var queueTime:Date = new Date();
      private var startDownloadTime:Date;
      
       
      
      private function handleSoundDownloadError(event:IOErrorEvent):void {
         event.preventDefault();
         event.stopImmediatePropagation();
 

         if (this.source is String) {
            logger.error("[error] sound could not download url=" + 
this.source.toString());

>> want to reload at this point


         } else {
            logger.error("[error] some sort of non URL sound went wrong");
         }
>> we try to fix the issue, by replacing the sound with a local emebed sound
>> this does not wormk 


         this.source = whitespace;
      }
      
      override public function load():void
      {
         super.load();
         this.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, handleSoundDownloadError);
      }
   }
