Nice new forum. 
www.gskinner.com/blog has a lot of new good AS3 posts, not sure if there is a page that links to them all though.
Cheers!

AS3 MP3 Player
Note you will need to supply your own mp3 files to view this properly and the flash 9 alpha.
Basically its an mp3 player with play, stop, pause, nextsong, previous song, id3 info display and computeSpectrum
Source files are located here to work off
http://www.dhtmlnirvana.com/downloads/audiomanager.zip
Here are the instructions
To set this up properly you will need to do the following:
Create a new FLA document
Create 5 button instances and name them
start_button
stop_button
pause_button
next_button
previous_button
Then open up the actionScript panel and insert the following code:
Code:
import audioManager;
var music: audioManager = new audioManager();
addChild(music);
start_button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, daPlay);
stop_button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, daStop);
pause_button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, daPause);
next_button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, daNext);
previous_button.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, daPrevious);
function daPlay(event:MouseEvent):void {
music.onPlay();
}
function daStop(event:MouseEvent):void {
music.onStop();
}
function daPause(event:MouseEvent):void {
music.onPause();
}
function daNext(event:MouseEvent):void {
music.cyclesongArray('forw') ;
}
function daPrevious(event:MouseEvent):void {
music.cyclesongArray('rev') ;
}
The AS3 Class file is as follows and is saved as audioManager.as in the same directory as the swf file
Code:
package

Essential AS 3.0 by Colin Moock
I think it will be a great resource for all of the Flash developers, who want to dive into AS 3.0

Some article written by Danny Peterson (source: CommunityMX ) that explains some fundamental changes with the Player that requires developers to rethink theirs previous solutions.
Hope you'll find it useful

Thats probably not such a good reference now. There have been some changes since the Flex Alpha so its possible some of the information/code there is a little off and may not be correct for the current release version of AS3.

FlashInterface - Communicating between Flash 8 and Flash 9 SWFs
Hey gang, just thought I would let everyone know I built up a couple of classes that allow you to easily communicate between the ActionScript Virtual Machines (AVMs). You can dispatch events, talk to functions and properties synchronously through these class. The API is the same between both AS2.0 and AS 3.0. I needed to have this ability for a project I am currently working on and I am sure there will be many others who need this solution. Anyway check out the links below and have fun with them.
Article I wrote regarding the problem and solution:
http://www.flashextensions.com/blog/...and-solutions/
FlashInterface Page (Downloads, Documentation, and Examples)
http://www.flashextensions.com/produ...hinterface.php
Spread the news and let others know about these classes

[stuff] as3 sound visualising efx
Hi,
i´ve just finished some AS3 sound visualising stuff.
it comes up with a bunch of scripted sound spectrum
analytics, that visualise sound, react on sound or just
guide the sound.
show it to me
here is a short as3 script-snippet for you to play with.
it´s a tunnel effect, wich reacts on sound and turns
the tunnel inverse or straight forward. just a simple
little effect belonging on how high the sound spectrum
amplitude level is:

Actionscript 3, postproduction
[Share] Load assets from external SWF files.
As learned a lot from Flash community, I would like to share mine if it could help some.
Here is a method I used in my recently Flash AS3 game, to load assets from external SWF files and use them dynamically. Download as followed.
