[font=Arial][size=3]I’m planning to add external MP3 files to my Flash MX 2004 project.[/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=3]I do have sound editing and compression programmes (Sound Forge & Audacity).[/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=3]Is there any advantage in compressing my sound files (wav) using the compression facility in Flash: or should I continue using my sound editing programmes to make my MP3 files?[/size][/font]
