RE: tb-303 created in macromedia flash?
definitely not possible. for SURE.. i do a lot of actionscript.
AS lets you play back samples; you can control the pan and volume. NO way to control the pitch (other than multisampling)... even getting loops to sync properly in flash is VERY hard.
although there are a few hacks; i've heard you can generate different pitches by "retriggering" a sample (i.e say you've got a sample of a single cycle of a sine wave; you could stop+restart the sample every time the playhead got 1/4 of the way through... but this would change the timbre/spectrum as well as the pitch)
flash is useless for stuff like that; i don't even think director has much... you really need to go to a lower level (java or c/c++).
of course, you can go the lame "multisampled"etc. route but that's nowhere near synthesis... blech.
in summary: "Im sure that its possible to program simple sound-algorithms (like a simple software 303-emulator) with the help of action script. "
i'm sure it's not; actionscript gives you NO low-level (and very little high-level) access to sound/data generation, manipulation, or playback. sorry.
