i had this very big problem(for my particular application). i am writing this music application in flash and i use as2 to load randomly specific sounds which are in the same folder with the movie. the problem is that i need the sound to be replayed with fidelity and it seems flash is lowering the pitch of the “music” by a halfstep. musically speaking, if i have an mp3 containing A at 440 hz played with piano timbre, Flash will lower it and when it is played through the flash player is its played as a G sharp(35 hz lower). I thought that if i will replace the attachSound with loadSound and the sound will be loaded externally and not from the library the problem will be solved. it seems that this won’t solve the probem. the sound just doesn’t want to play at the frequency it has in the file from which is loaded. i had read somewhere that this is a flash player’s bug. can this be fixed by any means?
