I can’t make this mp3 working properly in my fla. When I publish, the mp3 sounds distorted, with a wrong frequency. I don’t think it’s a matter of actionscript (with other mp3 everything work fine), by the way I post my AS

crickets = new Sound();  
crickets.loadSound(“crickets3.mp3”);  
crickets.onLoad = function() {  
this.start(1, 9999);  
}

Anyone can help me out?

Thanks a lot in advance

nope its about your mp3 compression it always reduces the qual of the mp3 and makes it sound as if it were inside a toilet flush… anyway try compressing your mp3s to a better quality =)

edit: click my footer; it uses mp3 compression yet the quality is ok, and all under 11k)

Tnx for the answer, but…  
I don’t know if i get it…how to compress if i have to increase quality? I was wondering …It’s not about the flash publishing audio settings? but why the mp3 sounds good in the library?

How many questions…
