692 Chapter 7: ActionScript for Flash

Flash Player 6 supported several ID31.0 tags. If these tags are in not in the MP3 file, but

corresponding ID3 2.0 tags are, the ID3 2.0 tags are copied into the ID3 1.0 properties, as shown

in the following table. This process provides backward compatibility with scripts that you may

have written already that read ID3 1.0 properties.

Example

The following example writes the results of the trace() method for the ID3 properties of

song.mp3 to the log file:

var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();

my_sound.onID3 = function(){

for( var prop in my_sound.id3 ){

trace( prop + " : "+ my_sound.id3[prop] );

}

my_sound.loadSound("song.mp3", false);
