I need to change the pitch of a local library sound rather than a URL. Here is part of Andre Michelle’s code which does it for a URL. (extraneous code missing)

function playString( myString: String )  
{  
\_target = new ByteArray();  
SoundMixer.stopAll();  
pitchSound = new Sound();  
pitchSound.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, complete );  
pitchSound.load( new URLRequest(myString) );  
\_position = 0.0;  
\_sound = new Sound();  
\_sound.addEventListener( SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE\_DATA, sampleData );  
}  
//more code  
function sampleData( event: SampleDataEvent ):void  
{  
var read:int = pitchSound.extract(\_target,need,positionInt);  
}
