Hi there! I've got 45 min long FLAC file. This is an entire album. So how do I split it into separate tracks? Cheers! :) BTW I can convert it to M4A or MP3.

Hi,

If you convert to .mp3 format, you can load the sounds externally into flash at runtime with a sound object. How you manage to "split" the file will probably take a sound editing program other than Flash. Once you have the files in .mp3 format...


mySound=new Sound(this);
mySound.loadSound("someFile.mp3",true);


Now, say you have several sounds that you want to load back to back. You could use a naming convention that includes a number for each sound. This would allow you to use a count variable to auto increment the next sound to be loaded on an onSoundComplete event. Something like..



count=1;
mySound.onSoundComplete=function(){
count++;
mySound.loadSound("someFile"+count+".mp3",true);
}


The above would sequentially load external .mp3 files named....

someFile1.mp3
someFile2.mp3
someFile3.mp3
etc...

hope it helps
