I uploaded a swf file, once uploaded it is dependant of an mp3 file for the bg music to play, the problem is it seems the I cant stream the song from the swf, is there something I am wrong I am doing? or is there something I am not doing currently

both files are located in the same upload directory as of now.

thanks for the help.

This doesn't sound like an issue with SWF Tools. It sounds as though your swf is dependent on a related file, in which case you need to write the container swf to download as much of the audio as it needs before starting to play. I don't write so many animations these days, but I remember finding a few references on the web when I needed to do this.

All SWF Tools is place the swf on the page - once it's loaded then it's up to the swf itself to take over!

NB - SWF Tools allows you to use genuine streaming via the Wijering and FlowPlayer 3 modules, provided you have a streaming server enabled, but I don't think is what you are describing.
