How to play sound located in different folder in flex?

[bman111111]

I can access and play file named "Song.mp3" located in the root directory of my project but when I put it into "assets" directory I got error.

Here is my project directory:

- Test 
-- src 
--- Homeview.mxml 
-- assets 
--- Song.mp3 
-- Song.mp3

I can access and play Song.mp3 located in the root folder but I get error when I want to play assets/Song.mp3.

This works:

var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest('../Song.mp3');

This does not:

var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest('../assets/Song.mp3');

I get following Runtime error:

Error #2044: Unhandled ioError:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: app:/assets/Song.mp3

I think that Song.mp3 in the root directory get exported in the final swf file but assets/Song.mp3 does not. If that is the case is there a way to force Flex to export assets/Song.mp3?

I found the reason of this error. The problem was not access restriction but it was rather because files and folders outside src directory does NOT get exported into the final package thus makes them UNAVAILABLE rather that restricted.

The solution is to simply put assets inside src folder.
