So, if you're going to stream an mp3 in flash... a whole song.. and you're using the sound object with loadSound() ... at about what percent is it safe to start playing?

... safe enough for a dialup user...

from my experience it would be better for you to wait until the sound object is completely loaded for 56k users, considering that on broadband the wait will be irrelevant. Avoid streaming on 56k because not all 56k are the same speed. It depends on their ISP.
Just my 2 cents.

why stream sounds at all, just load them...
no need to worry about them getting stolen either if you know what you're doing and they can be handled so much nicer...

hmm, load them? Not sure what you mean....
I can use sound.loadSound() to grab an mp3 that's outside of the swf. (I'll finish loading it before I play it I guess) ... or I can put it in my swf... making for a gigantic file they'll have to download...
