If you’re developing a site in Flash or even just a banner or header, here’s some helpful free actionscripts to add background music to your site. As you probably already know, using music on the Flash timeline makes a very large Flash file. This method allows you to have an MP3 sitting on your server (not embedded into the Flash) and loads separately almost instantly as it is streaming.
And if you need some ambient music to try it out with, I’ll send you a free sample. I’ll also send you a link to a great example of ambient background sounds in Flash.

For Actionscript 2
var ambience:Sound= new Sound();
ambience.loadSound(“trackname.mp3″, true);

For Actionscript 3
Ambience.load(new URLRequest(“trackname.mp3″));
Ambience.play(0,10);
Hope this helps,
