Actionscript 3 - Play Sound Parallel and Very Often

Question

I have a sound that must be played really often and the playback will overlap the playing of the same sound.

I kept my sounds really short but I can still hear the lack of plays. Does that mean when I try to parallel-play a sound 1000 times it will play it only 8 and ignore the others ? How many channels are there ?

Can I control and modify the parallel play behavior ?

Answer 1

AS3 maxes out at 32 channels. Make sure that once you're done playing a sound, you're disposing of its sound channel so that it can be freed up for another Sound to use it.
