tutorial about sound for Flash MX: [http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Audio/Flash\_MX-Kenny\_Be-824/](http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Audio/Flash_MX-Kenny_Be-824/) as far as the MP3 goes… Flash adds a small chunk of dead space in front of MP3’s unless they are cut down really really really really really really really really well… it took my friend and I about 10 tries to get it to work right… ---

yeah… try to edit your MP3 file… see to it if there’s no “unnecessary silence” before and after… and… pls careful with the capslock… some people are somewhat sensitive on it… like me 😉 (you dont have to shout! lol =)) ---

hey let me suggest that when working with mp’s flash there is always a pause between sound looping. convert your file to a .wav and you will see that there is no pause. 🙂 ---

> _Quote from [http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/loops\_pause.htm](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/loops_pause.htm)_ **Solution** Import sounds in a WAV or AIFF format rather than MP3, which produces this problem more frequently. 😛 😉 ---
