Yes, but as I understand Flash, you can't import audio files and assign
them to buttons at runtime--that has to be done at authoring time.
To further complicate things, we won't know until runtime how many sounds
there are, or what they will be. In Director, I can read in an xml file,
extract the info, create the appropriate number of buttons, lay them out,
and resize the stage at runtime.
You can't do that in Flash, to the best of my knowledge. I'm not a Flash
expert, but we do have one on staff, and he assures me that is the case.
So, you ask, why don't I just ask our on-staff expert the memory usage
question? His wife went into labor today :-)
Cordially,
