Using Actionscript 3.0 to play audio from dropbox

Question

Just looking for some advice and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

I'm trying to create a Flash MP3 player that can play music stored on DropBox. Never used ActionScript before so kind of learning as I go...

From what I've read so far, I need to use URLRequest to get the link to the mp3 file, then use the Sound object to load the file and play it. However, when I test my SWF file I don't get audio. I've also been reading about URLSream and NETstream, but not sure how to use that with the Sound object. I'm not 100% sure if I'm using Sound correctly, and given that this is pretty old technology now, I'm struggling to find decent tutorials.

Here's the code I've been trying:

package  {
    //Dependencies
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.media.Sound;
    import flash.media.SoundChannel;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.net.URLStream;
    
    import flash.display.*; 
    import flash.events.*; 
    import flash.net.*; 
    import flash.media.*; 
    
    //Class code
    public class soundObject extends MovieClip {
        
        //Variables
        var mySong:Sound = new Sound();
        
        //Init Code here
        public function soundObject() {
        
            var myRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("https://www.dropbox.com/s/[dropboxurl]/T-U-R-T-L-E%20POWER.mp3?dl=0")
            mySong.load(myRequest);
            mySong.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSoundLoad);
            
        }
        
        private function onSoundLoad(e:Event): void
        {
             mySong.play();
        }
    
}

}

Answer 1

So I figured it out guys... and surprise, surprise, it was something rather simple.

In publish settings, I had it set to 'local only'. When I changed this 'network only' the link started to magically work.

Thanks for the help. Got there in the end :D

EDIT: And just in case, I did also have change ?dl=0 to ?dl=1
