how would you stream music in flash 5 and how do you make a streaming music file also in flash 5?

I don't know where exactly the tutorial is but, look around on the link "Sounds" maybe you'll find it there!!

I'm not sure how similar Flash5 is to MX but maybe this'll help. To stream music in flash you would first import it. Then place it on a keyframe and make a frame later in the timeline drag the frame out until it's just white in that layer. Click the sound then go to properties, change the sync to stream and loop it as high as you can. For example:
Create a keyframe on frame one and then a keyframe on frame 20. Select the first keyframe then drag the sound file from your library and put it on the stage. Select the sound in the timeline then find the properties. Change the sync to 'stream' and the loop to like '999999'. Does that work?
Also, what do you mean by create a stream in flash? You have to use an audio program to 'create' a stream.

Edit: You might not even have to set the loop.

-Arc :) but then that makes the flash file huge!!!!!!!!!! and then takes forever to load

Could you use html to put the sound file in the actual html page?
Like:
<embed src="yourmidiname.mid" width=25 height=25 autostart=true repeat=true loop=true>

I'm not sure if there is a way you could compress the file size. Maybe marianne knows. You could try a loading bar or does it take too long for that?
