Hey, i just wanted to know how to add custom sounds to your flash. I know how to add defualt sounds already stored in the program. But say I wanted to record me saying “hello” into a microphone, and put it into the frames of Macromedia Flash MX. Would I have to use a different program like audacity? Anybody can give me a short tutorial, step by step, would be very helpful! Thx

It sounds to me like all you need to do is record your sound with Audacity. Import the sound into the library of your flash project. (file - import - import to library) The sound will now be available for use.
