Sync problem but only when exported 2011-08-31 13:34:47 Reply

When i watch my animation (not exported,just the fla.) everything is nicely on sync, the lip syncing, the sound cues etc. But then whenever i export my flash or testmovie it, multiple things go wrong.

Probably the most annoying/important problem is the fact that the movie gets progressively out of sync.
With the first scene being perfectly fine, the next one being probably 1 frame off and the final scene playing the sound a good 5 frames too late. I don't understand why this happening.

It's perfectly fine when watching it as an fla but the swf is just really out of sync.

Another problem is during the testmovie some movieclips spaz out a little. They kind of strobe in and out as if one frame they are there and one frame they aren't when they are not suppose to do that.

If anyone knows anything about why this schtuff is happening please help. It'd be greatly appreciated.

How many times have I answered this? *sigh*

File->Publish Settings...
Flash Tab
Change both Audios from 16kbps to 48kbps or 64kbps

Oh man, Adobe should really work on this one.

Anyway, may I ask how long (or how many frames in total) is your animation?

Try working with sound in movieclips. Mess around with the publish settings, try to see if there is a 'broken' sound in the library. (I once had it when I added just 1 specific sound to the library all other sounds would go out of sync) If all else fails you might want to try:

This can be very frustrating indeed.

If there is only 1 broken sound you could try to delete the first half of all your sounds and see if the remainders go in sync, then undo it and delete smaller portions of the library and so on untill its isolated, but probably there are more than 1 broken sounds so you'll need to test it in another FLA, just add sounds 1 by 1 until you notice that it goes out of sync. And of course you could convert all your sounds with for example audacity to be sure they all work. It really depends on how many sounds there are and where you've got them from.
