FLASH® LITE™ 2.x - Adobe Help and Support

Loads an MP3 file into a Sound object. You can use the isStreaming parameter to indicate
whether the sound is an event or a streaming sound.
Event sounds are completely loaded before they play. They are managed by the ActionScript
Sound class and respond to all methods and properties of this class.
Streaming sounds play while they are downloading. Playback begins when sufficient data is
received to start the decompressor.
All MP3s (event or streaming) loaded with this method are saved in the browser's file cache
on the user's system.
Note: For Flash Lite 2.0, you can ignore the isStreaming parameter because Flash Lite 2.0
treats every sound as an event sound.
Parameters
url:String - The location on a server of an MP3 sound file.
isStreaming:Boolean - A Boolean value that indicates whether the sound is a streaming
sound (true) or an event sound (false).
Example
The following example loads an event sound, which cannot play until it is fully loaded:
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.loadSound("song1.mp3", false);
The following example loads a streaming sound:
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.loadSound("song1.mp3", true);

onLoad (Sound.onLoad handler)
onID3 (Sound.onID3 handler)
onID3 = function() {}
Invoked each time new ID3 data is available for an MP3 file that you load using
Sound.attachSound() or Sound.loadSound(). This handler provides access to ID3 data
without polling. If both ID3 1.0 and ID3 2.0 tags are present in a file, this handler is called
twice.
