An audio question...

[RiceDaddy7]

Hi, I don't come here often but I need an answer to this question as quickly as possible...any help would be greatly appreciated

I have imported an mp3 to my flash file, but when I publish it, the mp3 audio loses a lot of its quality. It sounds much better played in iTunes.

Is there a reason to import this mp3 and retain its quality after its published in Flash? Thanks...

in publish settings, under the flash tab, there are two audio options: audio stream, and audio event. click on the "Set..." buttons to change the properties of the sound quality. the default is 16 kbps (pretty bad, to the point where you cant even hear some things.) you may want to change the default profile to use a higher sound quality.

you would actually get better sound quality if you used a sound object and loaded the mp3 externally.
i.e.

s = new Sound()
s.loadSound("your.mp3",true)//true means play when loaded, or streaming 

importing your sound into the library can give the good quality as described by Mavrisa, with the published settings, however, the higher the quality, the larger the flash file size. hope this helps
