Howler, an AIR MP3 Player

Howler is a simple MP3 player using the Adobe AIR runtime. Though it is in its early stages, my goal will to be enhance it into a fully functional yet lightweight music player. Howler is largely a learning exercise for me, so feel free to download the source code to supplement your own Actionscript learning (I have commented the code verbosely for that reason).

Comments and/or suggestions are welcomed and encouraged.
