flash actionscript: Maybe this is not news to most.

I had a Quicktime streaming server set up (just for fun) for a while and would
use iTunes or winamp as a client to play the stream. As I was working on an
audio player for a site, I decided to test to see if you could call a QTSS
stream directly from flash. Well you can and it works great!

In the code you normaly have something like this:

mainSound = new Sound(this);
mainSound.loadSound("somefile.mp3",true);

I changed it to:

mainSound = new Sound(this);
mainSound.loadSound("http://www.fnckmachine.com:8000/ReadyJane",true);

http://www.fnckmachine.com:8000/ReadyJane being the direct link to the QTSS
stream.

I will be testing w/ other server technologies/platforms when more time is
availlable.

You can check out http://www.fnckmachine.com/fnckradio/ for the full effect.
This is my home test machine and it will be slow and choppy!!!
