I am loading a sound file with the URLLoader class passed to the URLRequest class, just as one would load any other external content type.

```auto
var loader:URLLoader=new URLLoader;
loader.load(new URLRequest("file.mp3"));

```

When the loading is complete I would like to pass the data to a Sound Object.

```auto
var mySound:Sound=e.currentTarget.data

```

The object returned on the complete event is of type [flash.net](http://flash.net)::URLLoader.

```auto
e.currentTarget

```

How can I turn this URLLoader into a Sound Object?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Old topic, but the solution would be to change your data format for loading to binary with:

> loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;

Then when the loading is complete you should use the loadCompressedDataFromByteArray method like this:

> var sound:Sound = new Sound();  
> sound.loadCompressedDataFromByteArray(event.target.data,event.target.data.length);
