Sound Compression the BDX way:

Alright heres what you do, dont EVER use event sounds. there useless, but if your worreid about quality loss then this is what you do. Go to file, publish Settings. Then go to the flash tab go to where it says Audio Stream and click Set. Change th enumber from 16 to 64 kbs then uncheck the box and change the drop down box to best quality.

Next about looping music, if you want to loop music without the gap you MUST import it as a wav, but have ti exported as a Mp3. Simple as that.


Now finally not many people know this but movie clips cause the sound in your flash to lag a bit. Do NOT use movie clips unless your need to in a buttn. heres wat you do. if it a trait ceneith no buttons tak th emoviick u ant to use. Place it where you want. Now go to the properties menu and change the property from a movieclip to a graphic. and change the middle box from single frame (which stays on the frame you start it on) or Loop (which plays constantly until it hits a stop action into the frame of the main timeline) This is also betet rbecause you can start the movie clip from where you want it to. (the frame on the inside)


How to make looping animation, such as in a movie clip? Lets say you want to make a animation of sonic standing. You have to take his fisrt frme of his action and make ti a movie clip. then put the rest of his actions on the timeline INSIDE of the movie clip.


As for the sound compression thing, if you have buttons in your movie then make a movie clip and inside the movie clip put the music inside it and strech out the movie clip for as long as the song or for as long as you want it to go. The audio inside the clip should be streamed. Now if you want to loop a certain part of the song, put a goto and frame action inside the movie clip.


Uhm if this didnt help or wasnt what you were looking for then well you learned something! Yay

Haha Nice Tut BDX Really helped just one question. Is Macromedia 8 and Macromedia MX 2004 Basicaly the same thing? I mean you didnt put a tut for Macromedia 8 so I guess they are right?

Same exact thing. I just prefer MX 2004 pro. However 8 uses actionscript version 2. I dont get the difference really. and 8 uses blurs and glows. stuff u can use in photshop and it will look wayy better

Now I need to do some test with this this stuff and then I'll tell you if this is what I need because so far from reading it, it is! :XD:
*Edited*

Also do you mean that I need to save the music file I'm importing as a wav and then in the publisher area make that and MP3? If so it won't let me import wav files so I'm having trouble. I have an awesome flash I'm working on and it's only on the first episode so I'm trying to make this look clean to some extent, I only got six days left and then it's going to be onto flash 5 or was it 6?
