Topic: Streaming music in Flash . . . Help? Taxon? (Page 1 of 1)

Okay, I've decided my resume sucks, and getting a job sucks, and so I'm dressing it up. I want to send, along with my resume, a burned CD of a HTML/Flash project that will include my work, and my web-sites, and other such stuff.

Okay, this is the problem, I want to have a kind of dialogue intro, but I want it to be accompanied by music, and Flash Tuts don't seem to help much on this one. It says I can import MP3, and AIFF sound, but I want to use a piece of a song, and roll it over and over during a scene, but I want the intro to the song first. I can break the music into pieces, and export it using Premiere, and then Quicktime or other software can make it into MP3 format, if that saves more space inFlash, but I'm not sure how to arrange it, or if i should even break it into pieces? the two tunes I am considering are:

Fat Boy Slim - Right Here, Right Now
and
Orbital - Halcyon and On and On

If you are familiar with these songs, you know they have intros, but eventually go on to a pretty repetative beat. I can get the beat to cycle, and stream, or can I? I can isolate the cycle, does Flash repeat it for me if I stream, or do i need to implement something else? Can I use a separate intor, and have it go into the cycle, or does that require too much programming?

Anybody that has info on Flash Music use, thanks, cause I think my future with a decent company depends on it . . .

There's a slew of audio tuts here ... maybe they'll be useful...
I'd explain some things, but I haven't the time... I'm gettin booted out of the computer lab in about 5 minutes..

Sorry, Taxon, I had forgotten I had even posted this here - I ended up spending about 6 hours trying to figure it out, and then I realized, after looking over the Macromedia web-site, that the info in the tuts was not the same as on the site, (I'm using Flash 5 now).

I switched some things, and it's working pretty good now. My first experience with music - it sounds really cool!

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out eventually, but I have to finish this resume by tommorow, and start gettin' out to some jobs!

Good luck man.
