    You can’t. Well, not directly.

    Although there are various sound file formats used to encode digital
    audio, ActionScript 3.0, Flash Player and AIR support sound files that
    are stored in the mp3 format. They cannot directly load or play sound
    files in other formats like WAV or AIFF.

    You either need to convert it to an mp3 before embedding it. Or embed it as a ByteArray, and then try to use SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA to fill the sound buffer manually with the bytes from the wav file, but you are going to have to do some finagling.
