I saw it but I can't find it so I am asking. How to make sounds files smaller?

[SF_FireSoul]

I made my little music banner, but the size of it is not so little. It is 14 megabites and I need to make it small enough to put it into a site that only allows 5mb uploads. Any suggestions?

[oldnewbie]

Wav or mp3? Did you try to re-compress it to the lowest acceptable quality?

[SF_FireSoul]

Mp3 and no I don't know how to compress it. So far I have been using the Help file to make the entire thing. I am kinda newbish at this whole flash thing. But I do learn quick.

[oldnewbie]

Well, try this...

Double click your mp3 in the Library (CTRL->L).

Uncheck the "Use imported MP3 quality" box.

It should default to the lowest re-compression of your MP3. What does the lowest line say, in terms of Kbytes, compare to your original above?

Next press Test. Is that quality acceptable?

[SF_FireSoul]

Thanks man I really appreciate it. It worked! I can finally upload it to my site. if you want to see the flash I made (pretty basic) go to http://www.pixelatedm.tk/ and it should be there it is the picture with green buttons and stuff and it has pictures of rock and roll bands in background.

[oldnewbie]

Well, you don't have to accept that lowest quality... You can better it if you wish, and check the file's size while upgrading the quality!

[SF_FireSoul]

No it is perfect how it is because I have to have room for the other 2 songs also.
Btw I am making a flash animation.

[oldnewbie]

Sync with video relatively important in this animation?

[SF_FireSoul]

yea kindait is called Samus VS. Mario. and not to get off topic but how do I make roll over buttons?

[oldnewbie]

If sync is important, make sure you set your sound's Sync to "stream" rather than "event", usually before you create your animation. If a sound's Sync is set to "stream", you have to add as many frames on the sound's layer as needed to "see" and hear the whole sound's modulations.

As for buttons, depends what you're actually looking for!

This?

[SF_FireSoul]

Yea that where it changes.

[SF_FireSoul]

Hey I tried to make the animation with Streaming audio and it didn't work. The sounds stopped.

[oldnewbie]

I didn't say "streaming" but sound's Sync set to "stream".

[SF_FireSoul]

Oh ok
