Sound problems

[Fim]

It seems like I always get a variant of this problem with flash, and tbh I don't expect that I'll get any revolutionary advice now at this stage in my animation career but I'll ask anyway.

I have a sound file from a voice actor that I have imported into flash, great so far. The audio is clear and crisp when played on itunes, audacity and when you play it on the flash stage. It's at standard default compression setting and set to Stream in properties. Except editing it down a little in Audacity I haven't changed the audio at all.

The problem is that as soon as I export the movie (Ctrl+Enter) the audio quality suddenly nosedives and it sounds wank, the 'S's sound really hissy and it completely ruins all of the animation. Annoyingly this problem goes away when I set the audio to Event, but then the audio will run faster than the animation that it is lip synced to.

Like I said, I have this problem with flash a lot and I really don't know what to do about it. Would appreciate any advice from yall

Keep your audio in stream so you can scrub the timeline and have it load faster.

You have to go to File >>> Publish Settings and then click on the Flash tab. In the Flash tab go to where it says 'Audio Stream' and click the button that says, 'set...'

Switch the compression to MP3, uncheck "convert stereo to mono", change the bit rate to at least 48 and switch the Quality to "Best".

Click 'Okay' and then go down to 'Audio Event' and do the same thing again.

After you've finished, click okay and you should be good to go, just remember to save so that you keep your settings.

Wow, can I just say that I've been having this problem with Flash for years and it looks like I've finally fixed it! Thanks a lot :) I have no idea why flash has such a unhelpful default setting.
