Help please?

Ok here is my problem:
I record with a CO1U Microphone. Using the program Audacity.
After i record, I export.
Audacity Exports the sound file into a .Wav
I open my Flash program and animation after that. i import to library my recorded audio. now there is
a play button in the library window that is clickable after you select a file. so i select my imported audio and press play. it sounds really messed up.
it plays normal on media player but in Flash it doesnt.
People say its a Flash problem. Anyone know what the problem is?
and what im asking is to anyone who uses Audacity and Flash Cs3 what their process is when recording and animating said audio recording.

Audacity exports MP3's too, right? Have you tried that instead of a WAV?

[Fulmetal75]

No.
I have yet to download the LAME encoder.
but Flash takes .Wav files.
i have used other audio, it's just my homemade audio doesnt work.

Hmm, .wav files work but not the ones in Audacity right? Check your export settings in Audacity. Try setting the audio to mono or lowering the quality.

[Fulmetal75]

like Sample rate and Sample format (Hz)?

Download lame_enc.dll and export your sounds as MP3's.
They have smaller file sizes. For me, using .wavs make .swf files extremely large and causes a bit of lag.

When you open flash and import your sounds, right click on them in the library, change the compression to MP3, (if it isn't already) uncheck "Use Imported MP3 Quality," change the Bit rate to about 80-128, (Unless it's vocals, there is no noticeable quality change for me with these settings from the original recording) and keep the quality as "fast."

Sometimes, when your sounds are under a second long, Flash will not let you do this. You can only use imported MP3 quality. The best thing to do is just change the compression to raw. It won't kill your file size because the sound is so short anyways.
Also, sometimes, I haven't quite figured out why, but you can't use imported MP3 quality. I don't really care because I don't use that setting for compression anyway, but I still haven't figured out why you can't with some sounds.

I hope this helped.

go to, publish settings - Flash - set audio stream and audio event to 160 kbps, best, speech
