Flex/Flash Shoutcast player

Question

I am trying to build a flash player for my company's Shoutcast server, and have seen a few articles about it on the 'net, including this SO question here.

However, I can't seem to get the audio stream to actually play. It seems to be connecting alright, but calling stream.play() doesn't seem to do anything.

I have tried the code in the SO question I have linked to, and have also tried something similar to this (sorry i don't remember the exact syntax):

public function stream() {  
    private var url:URLREQUEST = "my.domain.com";
    private var sStream:Sound = new Sound();
    sStream.load(url);
    sStream.play();
}

If anyone has any revelations for me I'd appreciate it.

Answer 1

Did you try this - (corrected some typos in the code you posted)?

public function stream() 
{  
    private var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("my.domain.com/song.mp3");
    private var sStream:Sound = new Sound();
    sStream.load(url);
    sStream.play();
}
