[swfmill] Loading an mp3 embedded as sound

[Don-Duong Quach]

I was able to get the Sound to play from the swf, but it's a bit of a hack
at this point.  I don't know if it's possible with swfmill by itself because
I didn't see any output for the DoABCDefine tag.

So I ran a swf, generated by cs4, with an embedded Sound through swfmill's
swf2xml and noticed the output had a lot more tags.  I removed the data from
that, turning the xml into a template.  Took swfmill's mp3 data output and
pasted it into the template to generate the swf.

Now I'm able to dynamically load the swf.  I create a haxe/neko utility that
interacts with swfmill to take in an mp3 and generate the swf.  I have a
repo of my code up here:
http://github.com/geekrelief/mp3swfembedder/tree/master

I might circle back sometime later and add the capability into swfmill, but
this works well enough for now.
