Music-animation speed

I created an animation which is mostly text, pretty simple, flashing on the screen, some size changes, some opacity changes. At a couple of places some bitmap images flash on screen. The problem is the music plays like if it supposed to, but the animation drags so that the music is finished long before the animation finishes, and the music is much longer than the animation.

I looked a this site- [color=#800080]www.balthaser.com[/color] and they are doing simular things, but it blows right through the animation without dragging.

What am I missing here? How can I get a simple Flash peice to simply play at normal speed?

Any help would be great, and much apperciated.
