Yeah. I figured, though, that it would set the audio file to stream rather than be fully loaded. Anywho, FlashPunk is amazing. I'm going to keep working with it.

Any file embedded using the [Embed(...)] thing will be just stuck into the .SWF and downloaded along with the rest of it. The "octet-stream" just means that you'd like the file to be treated as a generic bundle of bytes. If you don't specify a mimeType, Flash will try to recognise what type of file it is and treat it correctly: treating PNGs as images, MP3s as sound, TTFs as fonts.
It is possible to dynamically load and stream stuff from external sources - it's what the YouTube player does all the time. But it's usually not needed and can make distributing a finished game more tricky.
Really great to see such nicely made tutorials!

Sound Effect tutorial is temporarily disabled until I can figure out why the hell it broke for seemingly no reason.

EDIT: YAY I fixed it. Don't know why my strings were getting escaped this time when they weren't before, but all seems well now. Phew.

Started using this and till now I'm liking it, everything is really simple and easy to do. Great work! Only problem I had was making a tilemap collision, it's not very intuitive IMO and most of the topics on the subject in the flashpunk forums are using deprecated stuff from older versions. A tutorial for that would be nice.

I updated the first tutorial with more explicit instructions on getting a working debug player installed, for people who were having trouble. Now, the tutorial walks you through installing and pointing FlashDevelop to the Flash Player content projector debugger version.

Certainly looks interesting. I'll have to check it out for my next project.

You really just need to throw the 'net' (I presume) folder into the 'src' folder if you're using FlashDevelop. Or put it wherever you have all your classes.
This step would be really useful to have as a "tip" in the main tutorial, especially for people who have never programmed in AS3 yet.

Yeah, I've basically been answering that same question for a week now. I thought people'd be looking up AS3 primers and stuff before trying out stuff like FlashPunk, but I was kinda dead wrong. I'll try to update the tutorial with a quick tip on importing the lib when I can. Cheers!

Maybe if you suggest one such a primer, in particular. It's hard finding a good resource to learn AS3.

True, which is probably why I should just give everybody an easy route and write one myself.

I don't think you need a full primer as much as a brief explanation of how includes work in AS3. I think most of the people who arrive at your site are going to go at learning everything "extra" (read: the basics) from trial & error rather than go search out what every line specifically means. That probably counts more for oldies than newbies, since we pridefully figure since we already know C++ or Java or whatever other programming languages that we can just figure this flash stuff out, since we've seen people on Newgrounds that don't seem that intelligent.

This poster makes a good point. Using FlashPunk will both improve your dating life, AND make your penis grow to astonishing lengths... NATURALLY!

the hardest part for me so far was figuring out where to put the folder so yeah some kind of hint about that would be cool and also nice I ain't lookin' up shit about AS3. Just gonna bang my head against this thang until it dances for me.

I caught a sidebar in the 2010 Game Career Guide about FlashPunk. Good work, Chevy
