Automatically generated (Sound) classes

Question

Hi all,
Quick summary:
I'm trying to compile a SWC file with a lot of assets in it in an as easy possible way. "Easy" for a not so technical end user, not perse the way to acchieve that goal. Goal is to streamline a process to generate SWC files with as little possible tech for the person doing it.
So, sort of like  manually doing:
* Import files into Flash
* For each library item select "Export for actionscript" and have Flash generate the basic class.
* Publish as SWC
but without the Flash IDE and the possibly labourous process.
Right now I'm trying to put an AIR project together that generates classes based on a file list. The classes can than be added to a Flash Builder library project to generate a SWC file from it (copy in finder, check classes in Project properties, done)
I can generate the classes for graphics like below. Such a class can then be instantiated from within the host application.
package
          import flash.display.Bitmap;
          import flash.display.MovieClip;
          public class __0038_asset extends MovieClip
                    [Embed(source="assets/__0038_asset.png")]
                        private static const gfx:Class;
                    public function __0038_asset()
                              super();
                              addChild( new gfx() as Bitmap );
Allthough this adds another level to the display list (which looks kinda sloppy to me), it works.
However, for this to work for sound files I need to create a class implementing all possible methods and properties of the soundclass and handle the events and such. There is no way to extend Sound and then do something like you would/can with graphics.
This is what I got:
package
          import flash.media.Sound;
          import flash.media.SoundLoaderContext;
          import flash.net.URLRequest;
          public class _000_cover_hotsp_authormp3 extends Sound
                    [Embed(source="assets/000_cover_hotsp_author.mp3")]
                    private var snd:Class;
                    public function _000_cover_hotsp_authormp3(stream:URLRequest=null, context:SoundLoaderContext=null)
                              super(stream, context);
                              var mySound:Sound = new snd() as Sound;
But that aint gonna work ofcourse.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get to the format the Flash IDE generates the classes with?
Thanks in advance.

Wel, here's the answer. Must have read it once since it is in the moock book, but stubled across it on the interwebs at: http://blog.nightspade.com/2010/02/01/embedding-asset-at-compile-time-in-pure-as3-project/
For images use:
        [Embed(source="assets/Frog&Stranger02_03-titelblad_height_1024px 2.jpg")]
          public class a_A2BA79B5_CE46_F942_1AB2_CC26D8F7FCC8 extends Bitmap
                    public function a_A2BA79B5_CE46_F942_1AB2_CC26D8F7FCC8()
                              super();
and for sounds:
          [Embed(source="assets/000_cover_hotsp_author.mp3")]
          public class _000_cover_hotsp_authormp3 extends Sound
                    public function _000_cover_hotsp_authormp3()
Now, lets review some code to see if I can apply this elsewhere too
