Collect the whole set. The closest thing to what you want to do is to actually embed the audio data in some way in the flash movie itself and have your flash player understand how to parse it and turn it into playback audio. This is probably a significant undertaking and ultimately, the audio data is still going to client so they can, at worst, record the "what-you-hear" stream on their system to an audio file and, at best, figure out how to extract the audio data from the flash movie. My best suggestion is the same one I would offer to the record companies and musicians: if you want people to hear it, give it to them unrestricted. -Brian -- Feel free to contact me using PGP Encryption: Key Id: 0x3AA70848 Available from: http://pgp.mit.edu/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
