The default setting is 100.

Unfortuneatley you cannot access the ID3 tags in an mp3 file until it has *fully* loaded, this is fine when you are using the Sound.attachSound() method but it causes problems when you are loading an external sound into the player...

Working With XML
Sometimes you need to pass a flash file information. Perhaps you're making a flash-based photo gallery or an mp3 player. Maybe you want to use flash to parse server information. Whatever you need to do, it may make the most sense to use XML to pass your data to flash. Using XML is good because it's easy to parse as flash has built-in XML tools. In order to use an XML file, you need flash to do 2 things: read it and parse it. Here's an example of the code you'd need to read in an XML file (called info.xml) and parse it.

Converting .WAV to .MP3
As you would already know most CD-Recording software uses the .WAV format to record audio as an Audio CD. With MP3s being all the rage there has arisen a need to convert them to .WAVs.For those of you baffled by the terminology, .WAV files are an audio format. When you copy CDs to your hard drive they will be in this format. In order to save space, the .MP3 format is used to compress the music (MP3s are about 10 times smaller!!), however, as a Flash developer you can only import .AIFFs or.WAVs which is why this tutorial has been written.
