You can use a player object to do that. Quicktime has to be installed for it to work.

Revolution does support mp3 files, though indirectly this is true, since Quicktime must be installed. But almost all computers nowadays have Quicktime.

What is your problem concretely ? If you want to distribute some sound with your application simply include the file in the "data" folder when you create your zip distribution; or even better, if you are using OS X, hidden seamlessly inside the application bundle.

Cheers.

MP3 is a proprietary format.

If it were added to the product, it may require an additional license key paid to the patent holder, as GIF export once did before that patent expired.

Thank you for your reply... but i think nowdays all compilers of high level

support mp3s.......and if proprietary format or not must support an so

important file compressed..... a file audio is half respect a normal file...so

in the games i need a background music and it's a little difficult to make

external reference, because i have problem in the windows xp environment

with also quick time installed..............bho.....i don't know......for example i

don't hear the music in xp when running the app.....

and so if there is a possibility to put inside like an audioclip control it's better.....

Thanks,

You can play MP3s with a great deal of flexibility. Use the player object. Note that this will require QuickTime, but that's free and a great many software titles require it anyway.
