Step 2:Audio Class
The Audio Library Class,
this is a place to store all the references to the audio files to retrieve them and play them back with the getAudio(id) method. It loads the audio file names and id numbers from an xml file or a database. You then retrieve the audio file by the id. This way all the sounds are loaded so you don't have to wait for each file to load on hovers and whatnot.

I did use php to convert the database to xml for the sound files and load data from the database, but hopefully if you are at this stage of things that stuff is simple enough to figure out on your own. I hope this is enough to point you in the right direction for a translation solution to flash websites.
