I need to seamlessy loop a song. but no matter what I do with dreamweaver and music editing software, there is always a slight pause between the beginning and end. someone told me to try it in flash. but i don’t know how to edit mp3’s in flash or how to even begin. Please help. ---

Try not using a mp3… instead use the wav format…if you have it…and just compress it to smaller file size… has always worked for me ---

but I need to edit the song itself. I need to cut it in half and seamlessly loop it for a customer. and I could be wrong but I thought flash only recognized MP3’s. but I don’t have the .wav anyway. ---

take your sound, get a program and cut it wherever you want (download Audacity or something, free and fast and easy), then make a sound object, link it up in the library, attach the sound, and start it with however many loops you want. Code looks like this: Import cut sound into flash set its linkage for "sound" on the first frame put [AS] mySound = new Sound (this); mySound.attachSound(“sound”); mySound.start(0,99); [/AS] ---

When you import an Mp3 into flash, set it to loop, when you test it, there will be a pause for a second or so. So don’t import mp3’s unless you don’t plan on looping them. (like a button sound) Import the file in WAV format. In the library, right click on the sound file and choose properties. There, change the compression to Mp3 and tinker around with the bit rate. You will probably want to change the convert stereo to mono checkbox as well. -coolidge ---
