Example
The following code creates a text field, in which the song's ID3 information appears. A new
Sound object instance is created, and your MP3 is loaded into the SWF file. ID3 information
is extracted from the sound file. When the user clicks
stop_mc,
the sound is paused. When
the user clicks
play_mc,
the song resumes from its paused position.
this.createTextField("songinfo_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth, 0, 0,
Stage.width, 22);
var bg_sound:Sound = new Sound();
bg_sound.loadSound("yourSong.mp3", true);
bg_sound.onID3 = function() {
songinfo_txt.text = "(" + this.id3. ") " + this.id3.album + " - " +
this.id3.track + " - "
+ this.id3.songname;
for (prop in this.id3) {
trace(prop+" = "+this.id3[prop]);
}
trace("ID3 loaded.");
};
this.play_mc.onRelease = function() {
/* get the current offset. if you stop all sounds and click the play
button, the MP3 continues from
where it was stopped, instead of restarting from the beginning. */
var numSecondsOffset:Number = (bg_sound.position/1000);
bg_sound.start(numSecondsOffset);
};
