 cripes, seems i missed something! can i get an addy on that massive attack

page?

 (if its not their official one)

 anyway, it seems sound limits flash sometimes; if you have

 a song, for example, streaming, generally it needs to be in the 22khz area

to not sound

 bad.  ive found it best not to compress sounds outside of flash, to bring

them in at 44 or 48

 if possible and go with it, because it seems flash messes with it anyway.

i suppose you

 just have to use music with flash strategically, as one of the important

things is speed;

 once you get past 20 seconds or so people will go somewhere else.  as cool

as having

 a soundtrack with flash movies, the sound quality and the streaming issue

both limit that.

 however, if someone knows a way to compress sound down outside of flash and

have it

 not sound bad, id like to know about it.
