I am using the Flash 6/7 media component to play an MP3 file.

When it plays… it seem to play 2 or 3 times as fast as it should!

I can play the MP3 file on it’s own on my PC… and it’s fine.

What am I doing wrong?

Is there something wrong with the MP3 file?

Is there an extra bit of coding I need to add to the media component?

Thanks.
