Updating code fron AS 2 to AS 3

Question

I'm trying to update an interesting text/sound Effect I found in Lee Brimelows "gotoAndLearn".
I would like to use it in a current project that is all AS3.
I have tried updating the code but I keep getting errors:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error.
    at Write_AS3_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
this is the original code as I decided it would be too confusing to put in my hybrid version:
var str:String = " As an airliner that skidded off a runway during a snowstorm Thursday night at Midway Airport remained today in the middle of a Southwest Side street, its fuselage resting atop the crumpled wreckage of a family's car, federal investigators took charge of the accident inquiry.\n\nA 6-year-old boy riding in the car was killed. At least 10 other people—eight on the ground and two on the plane—were injured.\n\nThe Cook County medical examiner's office has identified the fatality as Joshua Woods, of the 14200 block of Elkhart Place in Leroy, Ind. He was pronounced dead at 7:45 p.m. at Advocate Christ Medical Center, Oak Lawn, according to a medical examiner's spokeswoman.\n\nGary Kelly, chief executive of Southwest Airlines, told a news conference in Dallas today that this was the first fatal accident involving a Southwest flight in the carrier's 35-year history.";
var sInt = setInterval(writeIt,1);
var count:Number = 0;
var s:Sound = new Sound();
s.attachSound("type");
function writeIt() {
    if(count == 0) {
        s.start(0,1000);
    theText.text = str.substring(0,count);
    count += 5;
    if(count > str.length) {
        clearInterval(sInt);
        s.stop();
I realize I need to use the load() method for the sound and the setInterval is no longer supported.
Any suggestions or comment are appreciated.
Thanks

I am not a sound expert (not even close), but from what I understand, there's the Sound class and the SoundChannel class, that latter of which is born of the former....
Try...
var str:String = " As an airliner that skidded off a runway during a snowstorm Thursday night at Midway Airport remained today in the middle of a Southwest Side street, its fuselage resting atop the crumpled wreckage of a family's car, federal investigators took charge of the accident inquiry.\n\nA 6-year-old boy riding in the car was killed.

var timer:Timer = new Timer(1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
timer.start();
var count:Number = 0;
//creating an instance for sound
var s:type = new type();
var schannel:SoundChannel;
function onTimer(event:TimerEvent):void {
    if(count == 0) {
        schannel = s.play(0,1000);
    theText.text = str.substring(0,count);
    count += 2;
    if(count > str.length) {
        timer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, onTimer);
        schannel.stop();
