ActionScript Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: /Sound/Amazing.mp3

Description:
This is an ActionScript Runtime Error that you will get if you purposefully trap errors (which I highly recommend you do) while trying to load a file into Flash/Flex. One very simple reason you will get this error is if you have targeted an mp3 or any file incorrectly. This can include php scripts and other external datasources.

Fix:
Make sure that you are targeting the file correctly. In the ‘Bad Code’ example below I am missing just one letter. Without trapping the errors like I do you will also get AS3 Error #2044: Unhandled IOError Event

Bad Code:

private var snd:Sound = new Sound();
snd.load(new URLRequest(“Amzing.mp3”));
snd.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onSoundIOError, false, 0, true);

function onSoundIOError (e:IOErrorEvent)
{
trace(“An Error Occured and it looked like this.”, e.text);
}
snd.play();

Good Code:

private var snd:Sound = new Sound();
snd.load(new URLRequest(“Amazing.mp3”));
snd.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onSoundIOError, false, 0, true);

function onSoundIOError (e:IOErrorEvent)
{
trace(“An Error Occured and it looked like this.”, e.text);
}
snd.play();

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error.
