Accessing the Sound SampleDataEvent

[Sam 2 Likes (Newbie)]

I am trying to access the SampleDataEvent for a sound that has been loaded by the MP3Loader. I had assumed that this would be as easy as adding an event listener to the content of the loader like so:

( ( _loader as MP3Loader ).content as Sound ).addEventListener( SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, onSampleData );

... but I am not seeing any events.

 

Help Please

For the record there is audio. It is loaded properly and a play call results in sound issuing forth from my speakers. I am even able to do an extract on that same content and manipulate the resulting byteArray. I am just not getting the SampleDataEvents.

Frankly, I don't have experience using SampleDataEvents, but Adobe's docs seem to indicate that they don't get dispatched unless you have NOT loaded any MP3 into the Sound instance. So if you're using it with MP3Loader, I assume you've loaded an MP3, thus it would be expected that you're not getting those events dispatched.

 

Adobe's docs: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/events/SampleDataEvent.html

 

Also, just checking:

1. Are you publishing to Flash Player 10 or later?
   
2. Are you using the latest version of LoaderMax/MP3Loader?

Well I'll be. I'll need to find another way to trim the loaded audio then.

 

Thanks Jack.
