Sidenote: The general MP3 compression method will drop down to your target

bitrate... no need to drop sampling frequency or sampling size down

beforehand. Flash 4's internal audio compression will match your target

delivery rate.


Tip: Avoid sharp spikes in sound... these don't compress as well as sounds

with even dynamics do.


Summary: There's usually little need to downsample in Flash.
