batch coversion .mp3 to .swf => soundnails?

[mirrorvision]

Alright - this is a soundnails questions, but I do think it will quickly become a flix question as I believe I may have made a poor purchase.

I'm trying to convert .mp3 files to .swf files, and have them loop. However, I want a 0px x 0px movie size, and a continuous loop. This is very simple to do in Flash, and very simple to do in Flix (I have Flix Lite SE 3.1). Results are quite favorable. The problem: I need to convert roughly 1200 of these - so doing it manually is out of the question.

I know the Flix Pro 3.2 has a batch conversion function. Problem is, I didn't buy that, I bought Soundnails (Pro 1.0) for $93, because it was cheaper. Silly me - yes, it is.

So - any of you in the know - tell me if you foresee a remedy for the following w/o purchasing the full verion of Flix (yet).

Problem: I've created a "host file" for use with Soundnails. The file has a playsound() action on frame 1 with a loop (5000 max) and a stop action on frame 1. It is 0px x 0px. Nice and simple, works beautifully, loops without a gap (providing the loop file is quality). When I use Soundnails to replicate this .swf with other soundfiles (Conversion mode: Replace), it does so fine, however, it ADDS to the end of the sound file, leaving about 3 - 5 seconds of air before looping. Why would it do this? Flix doesn't. Nor does simply creating the file in Flash. I've attached the original "host file" and a Soundnails replication of that file using the same sound loop. See for yourself.

So - can I fix this in Soundnails? Or will I have to simply buy Flix Pro? Thanks,

Hi.
Sorry, but I've never used that program and I don't know why it would add a pause before the loop takes effect. It could be do to have they add the loop to the sound file.
In case you want to upgrade from Flix Lite to Flix Pro there is an upgrade discount which you can obtain here:

In addition to being able to batch all those files into .swf, Flix can do many other things such as adding a player with audio controls to your output automatically.
And of course you can use it to create high quality 2-pass vbr Flash video.
