"Event sounds are completely loaded before they play. They are managed by the ActionScript Sound class and respond to all methods and properties of this class."

is not necessarily true as sounds loaded with an isStreaming value of false will not work with getBytesLoaded.

The second parameter, isStreaming, is optional. Its default value is
false, which specifies an event sound.

I got some problems when user installed XP SP2 on their pc. I made flash speaker to load one mp3 from subdomain. I created crossdomian.xml and it works fine for me [2003 server] but it is doesnt works for someone who has installed XP and SP2. any ideas?

I am using loadsound to load a mp3 for example:

var mysound1:Sound = new Sound();
_global.mysound1;
mysound1.loadSound("mp3/welcomeMsg.mp3", true);
mysound1.stop();

When I test the Flash Projector. EXE file. I here the sound for a brief second. Is there a way to stop the sound object from plaing even though I told it to stop already.

I'm using loadSound() in a "slideshow with audio" project for a large
pharmaceutical company. Everything works perfectly for 90% of the
users. Of course, the 10% that it doesn't work for are the client's
computers...

I've already ruled out .mp3 blocking at the proxy level.

Basically, it will load and play the first few slides (anywhere from 3 to 6)
and then it will just hang. Calling the loadSound() function again has no
effect from here on out. Once it breaks, you have to refresh the page with
the flash movie to get it to work again.

Also, there doesn't appear to be a way to capture any error messages
from the server (i.e. a Proxy Timeout.) The "onLoad" function never gets
triggered (either true or false.)

Does anyone have any tricks for how to detect error and/or re-start
sound after it breaks? (Keep in mind I'm publishing to Flash 6/MX.) Some
help would be greatly appreciated...

MAC USERS BEWARE!!!

once you have started an mp3 stream, you can stop it playing, BUT
you can't stop it from loading,

this is VERY irritating.

If you want to play a different track, you just keep using more and
more bandwidth, until all net access falls in a heap.

This issue ahs been around for three years and still no fix!

Some mp3's I load using loadSound, are played too fast ( like 3x faster or something). I have tried to load sounds streaming or as Event, but that did not make any differences. I have also tried to set the framerate of my fla to 1 fps (!) but nothing changed. Does anybody experience the same problems, or does anybody know what I am doing wrong ?

When I use this function, it begins loading the sound. However, during this loading time no other loadClip functions will start downloading from the interent until the song has finished download, then they continue. Is there a way around this?

I found my mp3 files playing too fast was due to the sample rate I recorded the sound files in. Flash requires the sample rate to be set to one of the following: 11KHz, 22KHz, or 44.1KHz. I changed my sample rate of all my mp3's to 44.1KHz, and they played fine.

I was able to kill a sound that was loading by using the loadSound() method with an empty url property on the loading sound object reference. So if mySnd was loading, I used mySnd.loadSound("") with an empty string and it stopped loading the sound.
