Audio loop

1

I have a piece of music I edited into a perfect loop thru a sound editing program, but I cant seem to make it loop perfectly when I insert the sound into my flash file. Can anyone help?

what u mean loop perfectly

3

Basically make a 6 second music piece sound like one loooong music piece without notice of interuption, so that you cant tell/hear its looping.

i think people have had this same problem because they used mp3s instead of reduced wavs, try using a wave, not an mp3… or check the phorums with the search option

hi krillz …

that problem u have sounds pretty darn familiar :smiley:

this is what works for me …

  1. open a new flash movie … make the filesize 10 by 10 or some
    like that and import your loop
    make sure that you have enough frames on your layer
    e.g. the entire loop should be visible on the layer …
    for 10 sec. loop i usually have between 100 / 150 frames

  2. now click anywhere on the loop and look at the properties bar
    at the bottom of your screen …
    make sure you have these settings :

    [sound] = your loop
    [effect] = i use no effects … u can if u want to :slight_smile:
    [sync] = i set it to “start”
    [loop] = 5 for now … we’ll change it to infinite late

    once you’ve done this click on the “edit” button

  3. a window will open where you can edit your loop as with a
    regular sound editing program

    now the thing is … flash adds a small “silent” part to your loop
    so no matter how perfect your loop is … in flash it won’t sound
    right at first …

    this said … :slight_smile: in the edit window you’ll see a bar in the middle
    at the very beginning of the bar there is a handle which you
    can drag to the right and left …
    the trick is to drag the handle slightly to the right so that you
    remove the small “flat” line at the start of your loop
    place the handle at “real” beginning of your loop
    press ok and CTRL+F12 to check if it loops good

    once it does … go back to flash again …
    click anywhere in your loop …
    goto properties bar and set [loop] to 9999999 or some like that
    to make it infinite

    et voila … you got yourself perfect loop :slight_smile:

i hope this doesn’t sound like **** to you :smiley: …
it may take some tweaking but once you get the hang of it
this really pays off …

if you don’t understand something please let me know

lat0rrrrrrrrrrr
