[Request] Hz on MP3 to be listed on the tutorial page

[Darrin]

Can we add “mp3 files must have sample rate of 44100, 22050 or 11025 Hz.” to the sound tutorial page?

Also can the engine play or mix different MP3s at the same time? Sometimes I seem to have trouble play mp3s in rapid succession.

As far as i know this is becouse of Flash, not FlashPunk.

That’s a good question. If you find the answer to it, I’ll add that information to the tutorial as well.

Reading over the documentation for Flash audio and found this little titbit.

The ActionScript 3.0 sound classes support sound files that are stored in the mp3 format. They cannot directly load or play sound files in other formats, such as WAV or AIFF. However, starting with Flash Player 9.0.115.0, AAC audio files can be loaded and played using the NetStream class. This is the same technique as is used for loading and playing video content. For more information on this technique, see Working with video.
