Today as a open source developer, who started the stk in as3 project.

What is stk in as3 ? ActionScript (3) port of The Synthesis ToolKit in C++ (STK) " a set of open source audio signal processing and algorithmic synthesis classes " -from STK in C++ homepage

Why we need a AS3 port? Flash is good at handling multimedia... but not sound. Dynamic sound generation, from Flash Player 10 (October 2008) => may result in smaller file size because no audio source is embeded => much more possibility for creating apps or art pieces that run in browsers!
