flash mp3 streamer

Post by Burrito »

has anyone created an mp3 streamer with flash? I've done some searching and found a few tutorials that I could follow, but wanted to touch base here before I started undertaking this project to find out if any of you have done it and would be willing to provide some assistance if you had....

edit: actually I need this to be able to play wma's as well....

May I ask why you want to use flash rather than object/embed?

ok, I was up late last night and got my thing pretty well built (ended up just using a tutorial as a 'guideline').

it works just the way I want, but alas, I just tried with a .wma file and it doesn' work.... 8O

is there a way I can make it play .wma files too somehow?

I noticed that I can't import .wma into flash period, which makes me assume that the sound object doesn't support them.

mp3 is the only format that will work. However, you can rename your mp3 to wma or gif and it will still work fine. I don't think it's the sound object it's probably some m$ bs.

Is this an upgrade to your juke box you showed me back in January?

I'm actually rewriting the whole thing that I showed you (using CSS and making it OOP). I learned a lot of things in that first version, some of which I want to change and am doing so in v2. This flash mp3 player will be an 'enhancment' to the new system. I'd be happy to share it with you when I'm done.

currently supported media on the Flash platform includes only MP3 for audio and FLV for video...

Sorry for the age old update but FFMPEG can be used to convert most audio formats to mp3.
