Hello,

We are having a very strange and detrimental problem on our site.

We have a very high-traffic/bandwidth site that is written primarily in Ruby on Rails and Flash 8. It's a music site that features a flash player that plays Mp3's and is a very major part of our site.

The site works fine on windows but, on the latest versions of Mac Firefox and Safari, once you try to play an Mp3 on the flash player the browser completely locks up so bad you can't even open the browser again w/ out having to restart the computer after having to force quit the browser. I also don't even get the usual flash error message that a "script is taking too long".

Has anyone seen a similar problem w/ playing Mp3's on the latest Firefox and Safari browsers?

Thanks for all and any help!

Clem C

hi Clem,
Yes the sound object will be a difficult one to handle with the traffic network. Your flash application might be completely locks up so bad because of automatic streaming of the sound object. So you can better to implement the MP3 player in Flash Media Streaming functionality in your own method. So that your application will not be locked up.

Or you need to specify the streaming in your code

loadSound(url:String, isStreaming:Boolean) : Void

thanks
