Actionscript 3: playing sound from library with name from string
10,404
First, in your library, set the class linkage of a sound file by right clicking, selecting properties and editing the Class field in the Linkage section. In this example it will be Class:FogHorn
import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;
var SoundClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("FogHorn") as Class;
var newSound:Sound = new SoundClass();
newSound.play()

I am trying to write some actionscript 3 code to play short sounds from the library, using a dynamically created string to load it.
In AS2, I could do something like this:
mySound = new Sound(); mySound.attachSound("any concatenated string" + foo);
In AS3 however, the identifier is a class whose name, it seems, must be already known. Is there a simple way to 'attach' a sound using the identifier as a string in actionscript 3?
