At this point, you might want to take advantage of one of the "synth"
libraries of AS3 and use the mp3 files as your wave-table then add your
filters & envelope generators just like a normal sample-based synth.
Probably overkill for an online distraction, but if you are going for
quality / realism, then worth considering. Have a look at some of Andre
Michelle's examples or see if you can find the Flashcodersbrighton
experiments with as3 synths if you are interested.

multisampled pianos are available without having to record it all yourself!
you'd still have to be loading a hell of a lot of wavs for it to sound half
decent though, and probably code up something to handle the release of the
keys properly...

I was going to say something similar to what Kerry said - taking samples
from the real world as separate MP3 files. It would seem to be pretty easy
(albeit somewhat time consuming) to do that if you had a moderately OK mic
(even one from Best Buy) and access to a piano or even a synthesizer. Then
you'd have a library to work from. You could preload all possible notes -
being they would be quite small files individually, wouldn't be too bad.
Heck, you could sell the library online for some small bucks and make
money.

You could go further than recording all 88 notes. A soft note has a
different timbre, attack, and decay from a loud note. For such a
library to be really valuable, you would need to have different
attacks at different volume levels.
At least you don't have to worry about legato, since a piano can't
play true legato like a violin or French Horn. A non-accented attack
would do well for legato.
Cordially,
