AudioElement is a media element specifically created for audio playback. It supports both streaming and progressive formats.

AudioElement can load and present any MP3 or AAC file. It supports MP3 files over HTTP, as well as audio-only streams from Flash Media Server.

The basic steps for creating and using an AudioElement are:

1. Create a new URLResource pointing to the URL of the audio stream or file containing the sound to be loaded.
2. Create the new AudioElement, passing the URLResource as a parameter.
3. Create a new MediaPlayer.
4. Assign the AudioElement to the MediaPlayer's media property.
5. Control the media using the MediaPlayer's methods, properties, and events.
6. When done with the AudioElement, set the MediaPlayer's media property to null. This will unload the AudioElement.
