Moho Animation Forum

I have created an animation with a sound track (loaded in at frame 0, and goes the duration of the clip). I exported it to both an AVI and a Flash file. I embed the Flash file in a webpage.

The AVI file plays the sound fine. If I go to the webpage with the Flash version, it animates fine, but I hear no sound.

I don't think this is a bug, I think I need to do something I'm not.

Any help will be appreciated...

Cool, thanks!

I tried a search for 'flash sound' and didn't find anything useful. I guess I just needed to know to look for the Flash file extension instead (didn't think of that).

I'm just saying, because I didn't want you to think I didn't search first...

You need to have an .mp3 version of your soundtrack in the same directory as your .anme file when you export to Flash format. In other words, you can use a .wav file for checking real-time stuff in the program (lip-synching etc.), but to embed sound in the exported .swf file you will need to store a copy of the wav sound in mp3 format.

Thanks! That is pretty close to what I did to make it work.

The only difference is I found is that, for me, it would only work if I also created the SWF with the same MP3 I store on the web directory.

That is, when I create a Flash file in AS7PRO called 'test.swf' using an audio file called 'test.WAV', then place a converted-to 'test.mp3' in the same directory, it DIDN'T work. Then when I create a Flash file called 'test.swf' using an audio file called 'test.MP3', and placed it in the same directory, it DID work. At least that's the results I got.

It's probably best to start with the MP3, since that's what it's going to sound like anyway!
