About accessing ID3 properties in MP3 files with Flash Player

Macromedia Flash Player 7 and later supports ID3 v2.4 and v2.4 tags. With this version, when an MP3 sound is loaded using the attachSound() or loadSound() method, the ID3 tag properties are available at the beginning of the sound data stream. The onID3 event executes when the ID3 data is initialized.

Flash Player 6 release 40 and later supports MP3 files with ID3 v1.0 and v1.1 tags. With ID3 v1.0 and v1.1 tags, the properties are available at the end of the data stream. If a sound does not contain an ID3v1 tag, the ID3 properties are undefined. Users must have Flash Player 6 release 40 or later in order for the ID3 properties to function.

For more information on using the ID3 properties, see Sound.ID3.
