Re: FLASH: Streaming sounds within Flash 4 ??

[Michael Penne]

Flash streams sounds using http streaming. Many

sites preload sounds and graphics for various

reasons, you can choose not to if you set your 

sounds to stream (mp3, set to sync to stream)and

if the sound streams below the data rate of the

target audience. FI this site I'm working on the

sound file begins to stream pretty much right

away at 56k: (its ~350k sound file)

http://www.bigtimeweb.com

 

QuickTime uses either rtsp or http streaming

depending on set-up. Flash does not do rtsp nor

QuickTime, you can launch a QT sound in an

external window or simply embed it in the same

html page as the flash file and set it to play

right away. I've even seen some demos where a

streaming (rtsp) QT sound file launches flash

movies from QT's href track.


We've found QDesign Pro codec QT sound files

about 10x smaller than mp3s at similar sound

quality, sure would be nice if Flash allowed

embed QT files, no?
