Abstract

This chapter covers the following topics:

  • How to load sound files

  • How to control audio behavior

  • How to read and display audio ID3 information

  • How to display the sound spectrum

  • How to control sound volume and panning

The value of sound is subtle and undervalued. Often, it makes the difference between a good site and a great site. Sound is similar in many ways to video in ActionScript 3.0. It contains overhauled properties and functionality, which were long overdue in ActionScript 2.0.
