resamples it anywhere? i've never had that problem, wouldn't have thought it was possible but then I don't make software so i've got no idea of thebackground...
Also why would it change it into wav from MP3? that would slow it down loads, the only problem i've found with sound is the looping, it left a huge chunk out of my loop, it was quite annoying.

Muppet, ahem... I specifically remember reading on FlashKit:

"Don't give Flash MP3s, it doesn't like them much especially when it needs to resample them"

Flash resamples anything it gets hold of on to an MP3, the only problems is it does MP3 -> Wav -> MP3 again.

:D I havn't got round to using Flash MX since I realised the Alpha transparency isn't quite as friendly on it as the one on V5 is.
Whereas Fireworks and dreamwever MX both rule!...a lot! especially Fireworks, I hate the logo but it makes the .jpg and .gif files stand out a lot more, ...damn ugly logo...

cheers for your help though, i'll have a look into Flash MX, can you edit the actual wave? all my sound editing stuff gone up the blink
*is left stranded*

Can't you change the rate of them on Flash 5 too? I think you getthe option when you export them, same goes for Jpeg quality.

Flash, especially MX was designed to use MP3's you muppet!! that was the whole point! so you were able to stream the two together! nevermind!

you right.. it doesn't support midi, but yes, it does do MP3's and you can change the sample rate of them on export...

Rob... Muppet!!

MP3s? why not? they're about 1/10 of the file size.
