I’m trying to load an .mp3 file into a Sound object in my project. I want to do this by using the FileReference.browse() method. I already have a system, but due to security issues, FileReference can’t return the full file path and the Loader object can’t load anything besides .swf and images. I’m stuck here. I found a decent library here: [http://www.flexiblefactory.co.uk/flexible/?p=46](http://www.flexiblefactory.co.uk/flexible/?p=46), but I have no clue how to incorporate it into flash.

This is a pretty simple problem (being able to use the library), but I need a detailed explanation on it.

Much Appreciated.
