Creating the Full No Tanks! Game - The Essential Guide to Flash Games - page 305

Finishing up the Library class
The sounds are special case, as they require assets, which you must either create yourself or
download from the web site for this topic. We will embedding .mp3 sounds directly inside Flex
SDK AS3 applications (with a Flex embed) in Chapters 10 and 11. For now, we will use the same
method we used in Chapters 4 and 5. You will need to embed your sounds in a .fla , give them
the linkage names that match the Library.as class (which comes next), and export them as
noTanks_assets.swf . You will need to place this file in the assets folder for the project. There is
no need for this file if you are using the Flash IDE. In that case, simply import in the sounds and
set the linkage identifiers to the names in the class (this code will come next).

Here is the location in the framework for this file:
/source/projects/notanks/flexSDK/assets/noTaks_assets.swf
We will add new assets to our Library.as to handle each of the sounds we need. As a refresher,
the location for this file will be:
/source/projects/notanks/flexSDK/src/com/efg/games/notanks/Library.as
Here is the new Library.as file with the assets embedded using the noTanks_assets.swf as the
source of the sounds:
package com.efg.games.notanks
{
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;

public class Library {
