I used to test my shaders by creating the AS code, but I'd usually become annoyed with it - especially since fe. changing one parameter required a recompile. I haven't actually thought of it, but yes, sound would be a great new asset type, it's typically one of the harder things to preview without, well, actually hearing it :) I had considered implementing the Graph Language, but at least for now I decided against it and go with something more minimalistic and what I felt intuitive as an ActionScript developer rather than a kernel developer. As it is, the Graph Language is really geared towards image-only applications. It has types such as "image4", but lacks knowledge of AS types (if you'd like to use a Vector, for instance). In the future, tho, it would definitely be cool to support Graph with some slight modifications, adding bytearray3, vector4, for starters. Thx for the input, Joa!

I came to the conclusion that a simple preview like the toolkit has would work but in most cases you do not want that. Just like in your example, you need a special chain and input. Sound is also a completly different thing and not really doable with the toolkit. I just dont know how that would integrate into PBDT and into existing ActionScript projects. Because I though always, one would simply run the Flash project to test a shader. Although in that case you always have to setup your code.
