Description
Method; loads an MP3 file into an instance of the Sound object. You can use the isSteaming 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 object and respond to all methods and properties of this object.
Streaming sounds play while they are downloading. Playback begins when sufficient data has been received to start the decompressor. As with event sounds, streaming sounds exist only in virtual memory, they are not downloaded to the hard drive.
Example
The following example loads an event sound:
s.loadSound( "http://serverpath
ort/mp3filename", false);
The following example loads a streaming sound:
loadSound( "http://serverpath
ort/mp3filename", true);
