FLASH: Sound compression settings

[Heather Perkins]

Pardon the third posting, but I have received no response,

and would very much appreciate any and all info. on this

problem.


There is apparently a bug in Flash4 that resets all

the individual sound compression settings made using the

sound dialogs in the Library.


So, say I go through the library and individually set the

ADPCM compression levels differently for each of 10

sound effects.  When I open the library again, the levels

have all defaulted to 22k/4bit ADPCM, or22k/2bit, or

some other random value. "Saving," "saving as,"

etc. don't seem to "lock" the values in, nor does locking

the layers, or anything else I've tried.


I can set an overall compression setting for all the sounds,

using the "Publish" or "Export" dialogs, but I often need to

make individual settings. And these should remain the way

I've set them unless I've selected "Override sound settings"

in the export dialog, neh?


I have seen this on Flash for the Mac only (doesn't

seem to happen on the PC version.) I've also only

notice it with ADPCM sounds, but haven't had time

to test the bug with MP3--we are keeping our movies

Flash3 compatible for now.


Anyone have any ideas? Is Macromedia planning a fix?
