sound channels in actionscript

been playing with sound channels. something clicked and i feel i understand it a lot better than before. (ie; none.) I've used colours so you can see which parts refer to which.






var drumming:Sound = new blob();       


assigns sound to variable 'drumming'. 'blob' is the name of the sound in this case.




var drummingchannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();    


creates the sound channel 'drummingchannel'




drum2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, playsound);  


assigns the function 'playsound' to event a mouse event, which in turn is connected to the movie clip 'drum2'




function playsound (Event:MouseEvent):void{                

drummingchannel = drumming.play();

}       


makes the function 'playsound' access the channel 'drummingchannel' and play the sound (blob) assigned to the variable 'drumming'.




so there y'are.
