Re: [flexcoders] embedded sounds

Whack... I so did not have that problem when I tested months ago.  Thanks 
for attaching the example!

For fun I thought I'd test this out. The snd= new Sound(this); didn't
make a difference for me, and I am able to reproduce Tom's problem.

         [Embed('test1.mp3')]
         var soundSymbol1:String;
         [Embed('test2.mp3')]
         var soundSymbol2:String;

        function playSong()
        {
            var currentSound= songComboBox.selectedItem.value;
            startSound(currentSound);
        }

 <mx:ComboBox id="songComboBox" change="playSong()"
dataProvider="{mySamples.option}"  labelField="label"/>

Basically when you do a

startSound(beki1A);-> beki1A is = to something like 
__Resources.1387713460.beki1A_mp3

So your combo box would have to contain whatever the value of the name of 
the variable that your songComboBox.selectedItem.value is equal to. In CF 
you'd use the Evaluate function to do that,

I did a little hacking and found that this did the job:

        function playSong()
        {
            var currentSound= songComboBox.selectedItem.label;
            var playThis = eval(currentSound);
            startSound(playThis);
        }

Full working example attached (except for mp3s).
