Hi Alex,

This is easier to see than to explain -- it's illustrated on p. 217 in the

Flash4 manual and p. 137 in the Flash3 manual. The manual is available

online from MM in PDF format. Essentially, when you're in the sound

dialogue window, you can click on the horizontal lines that represent

volume, so that you add square handles that can be dragged up or down to

control fades. You can have up to 8 handles, and can drag  them left and

right once they're established.

Well, you can do it right in the same Flash window, dragging the tiny gray

time in/ time out bars in the row between the sound waves. But for real

control you'll need a sound editor. I always recommend CoolEdit for Windows

because it's shareware and has very nice features, including the ability to

audition your edited sound in loop mode to see if it loops smoothly. Beyond

Cool Edit you might try SoundForge.
