Flash4 does not import those formats. You can import PCM Wav (for PC) or

AIFF (Mac).

Sometimes your sound card can send a midi file right into recording

software while it's playing. Or try MidiNight Express at www.polyhedric.com

for a midi-to-wav conversion program (free or shareware or demo, I forget

which).


If you want to keep the compactness of the midi file, don't use the sound

in Flash, make it play from its own html page. Put the Flash file in one

frame of a frameset (the frame can be set to 100% height, so that the other

frame is invisible). Then in the Flash movie use a Get URL action to load

the midi-hosting page into the invisible frame. To stop the midi, use Get

URL to load an empty or non-midi page into that other frame.

Very cool. I'd love to see what you're producing -- got a URL?
