I figured it out. I don't need getDefinitionByName at all since I already
have the class references in the variables. This works:
[Embed(source="beep-1.mp3")]private var beep1:Class;
public function playSound(sSoundName:String):void
{
var classRef:Class;
classRef = this[sSoundName];
var s:Sound = new classRef as Sound;
s.play();
}//playSound

getDefinitionByName
Thanks, Steve, I may need to go that way.
I am trying to do it with embedded sounds, because the files are tiny, and
it is an AIR app so bandwidth is not an issue.
Worst case is I make a switch function, but I am striving for something a
bit easier to maintain.

Hmmm... You got me.
This is what I came up with...
package assets.sounds
{
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
public class SoundManager
{
private var sound:Sound;
private var channel:SoundChannel;
public function playSound(sSoundName:String):void
{
if(channel != null)
{
channel.stop();
}
sound = new Sound();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("assets/sounds/" +
sSoundName + ".mp3");
sound.load(req);
channel = sound.play();
}//playSound
}//class SoundManager
}//package assets.sounds

private var soundManager:SoundManager
private function onCreationComplete():void

<mx:Button label="Play Beep-1"
