The Sound class lets you create a new Sound object, load and play an external MP3 file into that object, close the sound stream, and access data about the sound, such as information about the number of bytes in the stream and ID3 metadata.

SoundChannel:

The SoundChannel class controls a sound in an application. Every sound is assigned to a sound channel, and the application can have multiple sound channels that are mixed together. The SoundChannel class contains a stop() method, properties for monitoring the amplitude (volume) of the channel, and a property for assigning a SoundTransform object to the channel.

SoundTransform:

The SoundTransform object assigned to the sound channel. A SoundTransform object includes properties for setting volume, panning, left speaker assignment, and right speaker assignment.

XML (Extensible Markup Language) :

Tag based language that you can define your own tags to describe the data you are storing in a xml file.

=================================================

Create an XML object
Use URLLoader to load the external xml file
Assign data to song buttons
Create instance of Sound, SoundChannel and SoundTransform Class
Load sound and play sound
Use slider component to control the volume and panning of sounds

///Timer///////////////////

var myTimer:Timer = new Timer(1000, 10); // 1 second , repeat 10 times
myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, runTenTimes);
myTimer.start();

functionrunTenTimes(event:TimerEvent):void {
trace(“runOnce() called @ ” + getTimer() + ” ms”);
} 

Note that the Timer() constructor takes two parameters. The first parameter controls how frequently the TimerEvent.TIMER event gets dispatched (in milliseconds). The second parameter is the number of times that the TimerEvent.TIMER event will be dispatched before stopping. In this example, the timer will dispatch only once before quitting. If you set the second parameter to 0 (zero) or omitted it completely, the timer would run forever (or until you called the stop() method on the timer instance.
