playing .pls files in flash

Question

Hello

How I can play .pls files (like this: http://radio10.nlab.se:8000/listen.pls) in flash?

best Vladimir

Answer 1

Flash has no built-in support for .pls files, but since they're just structured text files, you could read one in as plain text, parse the contents, and load the referenced MP3s if you wanted to. See URLLoader examples for how to load in a file as text.

Alternately, there appears to be an AS3 PLS reader open source project. I haven't used it, but you should probably check it out before trying anything else.
