I was having problems with a flash movie i was making. It was created at 35 frames per second and I was trying to sync certain occurances with the music playing in the movie.  
By doing a search i found out that on some peoples systems 35 frames per second is too fast. I have dropped the movie down to 24 frames per second and I’m not sure if this will help much. 12 frames per second is too slow. Does anyone know what I can do to keep my sound synced with my movie.

Hello there,

You should always try to use 12 frames for second , but if  
you want to sync sound effects to a faster speed all you have to do is  
drop your sound on the first frame of the occurances and put the  
sync to “Start”.

If you are trying to sync a soundtrack with your movie, you should  
put sync at “Stream”, so that way will be always in sync with the main  
timeline.
