urlLoader and mp3 file

franMX

Hello, I would like to stream a sound file (mp3), currenty I'm using:


--
local loader = UrlLoader.new("http://www.oneworldpuebla.net/t.mp3")



local function onComplete(event)
print("hello, world")
local sound = Sound.new(loader)
sound:play()
end

loader:addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete)
-- end


which of course gives me an error:

main.lua:7: bad argument #1 to 'new' (string expected, got table)


How can I get this done?



Regards.

loader is a handle to the url downloader, not the data. You need to get the data from the event.data and save it to a file before you can use it (we cannot use a memory stream as yet)

Thank you OZapps, now it is working as intended.

How did you knew about .data?
I looked at the reference manual but didn't saw it.

Hello,

http://www.giderosmobile.com/documentation/reference_manual.html#UrlLoader

UrlLoader...

Event.COMPLETE
This event is dispatched when loading is complete.

event.data: The downloaded data.


UrlLoader.new(url, method, headers, body)...

After loading is finished, loaded data is stored at event.data field of Event.COMPLETE event as string.
