Unlike progressive playing mp3 file from internet streaming mp3 is somewhat different. This article will discuss on streaming Mp3 files using Flash Media Server.

NOTE:

The mp3 files to be streamed has to reside on the server where Adobe Flash Media Server is installed

Folder Structure for Storing MP3 Files:
For an application to stream MP3 files all the mp3 files should reside inside “applicationname/streams/_definst_/” folder.

Action Script Code:

//create a netConnection object
var nc = new NetConnection();
 
nc.onStatus = function(info)
{
	if(info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success")
	{
		streamMP3Files();
	}
}
 
//this function is called once we have connected up to the server
function streamMP3Files()
{
	//this is the netStream object that plays the video file
	ns = new NetStream(nc);
 
	//attach the video stream to the video object on the stage
	vidObject.attachAudio(ns);
 
	//play the video file that we put in the directory for the application
	var filename = "mp3:filename"; //filename is the name of mp3 file without .mp3 extension
 
	ns.play(filename);
}
 
nc.connect("rtmp://localhost/audiotest/");
