Need Flash Audio Help

PhantomIre · Post by **PhantomIre** » Thu Feb 23, 2006 8:45 am

I know there's a post in another forum that attempts to solve my problem, the thing is, I posted a reply asking the guy to clarify his solution and he never responded. Anyway, I say that to ensure that you'll keep reading.

Here's me problem. When I export to flash and then play my animation in my flash player, there's no sound. What's the deal? And how can I get it so that I have sound in my flash animations? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The Flash Tips section of the Moho user manual has this advice for exporting to Flash:

a soundtrack can be exported if it's in MP3 format, and at either 44100kHz, 22050kHz, or 11025kHz sample rate

Regards, Myles.

Thanks, myles. Do you know anywhere i can download a mp3-maker sorta thing. Or a .wav to .mp3 tranformer? How do I record sound onto .mp3?

The freeware sound editor Audacity can open .wav files and save them to .mp3, as long as you also download the LAME MP3 encoder .dll - although I'll admit I've only ever created .wav files from Audacity.
You can also record directly within Audacity, and I assume you can then output directly to .mp3

A quick Google search reveals many freeware converters - here are a few:
RiverPast Wave@MP3
NCH Swift Sound Switch
MeowMultiSound

I've never used any of these programs, so use at your own risk.

Regards, Myles.

If you've already gotten the LAME encoder (which is really good), I would suggest getting RazorLame, which is a nice, fast GUI front end (and batch encoder) for LAME. I use the combo all the time, and have for years. There's a ton of options you could use, but the presets in RazorLame are all good, just do a test or two to find the tradeoff between sound quality and size you like and you should be good. A note, although LAMEs got a few flavors, I believe RazorLame is Windoze only.

Can you post a direct link to the download? And it is free, all the converter's I've downloaded have like a 10 (or 30) file "evaluation" limit. And that's bogus. (Then again they're only 20$)

I use audacity on linux every day, and I've even used audacity on windoze too. If you need help configuring windoze to use the lame.dll, let me know. It works really well to convert .wav to .mp3 (in addition to editing, recording, etc.).

Free, open source, all that.

And Audacity is good too. I just like razorlame because it's tiny (round 400K - I still like handy software that's dialup friendly) and does that one thing really well.
