"Most flashmeisters, like myself, have moved on to players that load MP3 files directly and use an xml playlist. This provides for easier maintenance and is really a better way to go rather than loading SWFs all the time."
Of course, but what I meant was to load an external swf with a variable passed that informs the swf what mp3 to load. When you want to skip tracks, you unload the mc and then load it again with a different var so it loads a different mp3. The vars can come from an xml file, sure. Did you try this? Does it stop streaming the mp3?
Another solution would be loading the swf with track into an invisible html layer. Deleting the layer with the swf in it possibly could stop streaming. I don't know, these are just loose ideas.BTW, do you have a solution to calculate progress of playing a streamed file while it's not fully loaded?
