Question

Streaming Flash Audio Crashing Browsers

We have a site that uses flashcom streaming and it worked great with the flash 8 player and 7 player but now that they upgraded to the flash player 9 it causes browsers to crash. I think it may be related to some older as2 syntax and was wondering if anyone has run into this issue. Im just starting to dive into as3 and spoke to someone who said to look into updating my syntax to as3.

Thanks for any help,
Jesse

    Okay so I started to go through all my code commenting things out to see what will stop the freezing when published to html. I found when this code is commented no freezing, but of course the player doesn't play so maybe I need to find a different way of doing this.

    _root.attachMovie("VSMediaPlayer", "mediaDisplay", 0, initObj);

    Thanks,

    All of my FMS/FCS apps seem to be working fine with FP9.

    Maybe if you post the code you are using for your netconnections/netsreams someone will spot the problem. If you have any methods that are invoked by the status methods of the nc's/ns's , you might want to post that too.

    Well first I load all the php vars that tell my player how many mp3 tracks to load.

    //loads the variables into flash
    myData = new LoadVars();
    myData.load(php);
    myData.onLoad = function() {
    gotoAndStop(7);
    };

    Here is all the code that works with the player. Im using Vitalstream to host my music, so here is how I connect.

    stop();

    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    // Catch 0 mp3s
    if (myData.audiotracks == 0){
    band_name = myData.band_name;
    tot_plays = [myData.totalplays]+" Total Plays";
    tod_plays = [myData.todaysplays]+" Today Plays";
    tn1 = "No Audio Available";
    gotoAndStop(8);
    }

    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    // Steady Variables
    band_name = myData.band_name;
    song_name = myData.tn1;
    mediaDisplay.stream = myData.fn1;
    song_id = myData.fn1;
    tn1 = myData.tn1;
    fn1 = "MP3:audio/toc/"+ myData.fn1;
    tot_plays = [myData.totalplays]+" Total Plays";
    tod_plays = [myData.todaysplays]+" Today Plays";

    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    // set starter var for loop
    origy=85;

    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    // For loop to load track info
    for (var i = 1; i <= myData.audiotracks; i++ ){
    trace("Count Down "+ i);
    _root["tn"+i] = myData["tn"+i];
    _root["plays"+i] = myData["plays"+i]+" Plays";
    // dup track button
    duplicateMovieClip(track_but, "track_but" + i, i);
    _root["track_but"+i]._y = origy;
    _root["track_but"+i]._x = 132;
    origy = origy + 16;
    _root["track_but"+i].j = i;
    // button actions
    _root["track_but"+i].onRelease = function () {
    trace ("onRelease called " + "MP3:audio/toc/"+ myData["fn"+this.j]);
    song_id = myData["fn"+this.j];
    song_name = myData["tn"+this.j];
    // load stream
    _root.mediaDisplay.stream = "MP3:audio/toc/"+ myData["fn"+this.j];
    };

    }



    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    // Connect to stream

    initObj = new Object();
    initObj.scaling = "keepRatio";
    initObj._width = 475;
    initObj._height = 300;
    initObj.bufferTime = 15;
    initObj.directLink = "path_to_audio";
    initObj.skin = new BattletocSkin();

    _root.attachMovie("VSMediaPlayer", "mediaDisplay", 0, initObj);
    _root.mediaDisplay._x = 0;
    _root.mediaDisplay._y = -300;


    Whats weird is that it plays find but once you try to leave the page it locks your browser.
    Thanks for any help.
