Hello!

I am using the class Sound from flash.media and it works very well with mp3. I would like to know what sounds formats does as3 supports by default! I mean, if I want to put a music in my game I will need to use mp3, which will become very big in size if its too long (1 min = 1 MB!), I would like to use midis but it seems that there is no support for that…  
Is there any other alternatives?

Thank you!
