Using MP3 sound files in pure AS3 project
Answered
I have an AS3 project that uses 8 sound files (MP3's). If I put these files in the bin and use, the first sound (Sound1.mp3) will play in a test:
var s1:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("C:\\Users\\me\\Desktop\\build\\xyz-6\\bin/Sound1.mp3"));
s1.play();
My questions:
(1) how do you include these 8 sound files in the project? (2) how do you use a relative path instead of an absolute path? (3) Is there a better AS3 script to import and use these sound files?
Thank you for your help.

Not sure I understand the question. I could say 'just locate these files in the project folder", but I guess that's not the answer you are looking for.

Is this question related to the IDE? It sounds more like an ActionScript API related one.

This question also sounds like not related to the IDE. I'm afraid I'm not an experienced AS3 developer.
I think if I could use a relative path to the folder, this would be helpful. Maybe I can find an AS3 script that gets the relative path to the folder where the project would be installed on a user's computer/device?
Re: including the sound files, I thought that maybe there is an IntelliJ dialog that allows a file to be included as a dependency?
What kind of app are you developing?
I think that I found the answer: if the sound file is located in the same folder as the SWF,
and the path is
it plays OK.
Ok, so now I've got an idea about the project type and probably can give you a better answer.
You need to place resource files in the source folder (usually it is ProjectRoot/src), this way on compilation IDE will copy it to the output folder next to the swf file.
Thank you. I'll try this.
