Playing an MP3 Sound using its ByteArray

Question

With AS3 we can do this to load an MP3 and play it:

var sound:Sound = new Sound( new URLRequest("sound.mp3") );
sound.play();

That is very easy, but what if I already have the entire ByteArray of that MP3 loaded and I want to simply play it?

Why cant AS3 have a simple method to simply pass the ByteArray working exactly like it works now passing a URLRequest?

In my case I need this because I am loading a ZIP file containing a bunch of MP3s and when I uncompress it I can read the bytearray of each MP3 but I can't play them.

Have you tried loadCompressedDataFromByteArray in the Sound class?Assuming you have the ByteArray already instantiated, try:var sound:Sound = new Sound();sound.loadCompressedDataFromByteArray ( mp3Bytes, mp3Bytes.length );sound.play();
