FLASH: Update on "popping" problems

[Daniel McQuillen]

A note for anybody experiencing the same problems and interested in the

troubleshooting. I brought the MP3 compression down to 56 kbps (Best),

and that seems to have eliminated the "popping" in my soundtrack. Why?

I have no clue. Any suggestions? This seems doubly strange because when

I compressed the sounds as ADPCM or even left it as RAW, the popping

was still there.


Problems like these make me stronger, right?


Daniel


P.S. Again, when I gain access to a FTP server this afternoon, I'll

post the before and after versions for anybody who's interested.
