Answer 1

In the line:

var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("sound.mp3");

you need to specify the full URL to the sound.mp3. Something like

var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://server.name.com/path/to/sound.mp3");

If you don't want to compile the path into your application, you can use the Application.url property, which gives you the URL from which your application was loaded. If you know where your mp3 lives relative to that, you can modify the path appropriately and load from there.
