streaming shoutcast stations in flash (as3)
allenbrunson: i wrote a flash/actionscript client for streaming mp3 files myself.  i'm about 90 percent sure that there is no getting around the fact that every server you connect to must give you explicit permission to connect, either through an .xml file or a little server running on a specific port.this limitation exists no matter whose code you use.  it's a security thing that macromedia/adobe put in there on purpose.
