Hey Kirupians!

I’ve tried wav and mp3, but the after publishing my movie, the sound just isnt the same… the quality drops by a mile… and everything sounds to “mechanical”, thats the best way I could put it… I was wondering which sound format is the best for flash and also how to use sounds in flash… I’m currently using the frame method… will the sound quality improve if I do it through actionscript???

Hmmm… I wonder!

Cheers!

Go to the sound in your library, select properties, and you will be able to try different options for compression.

Or check the “Publish Settings” for sound.
