Depending on your project you might also consider using RealFlash, a 

spinoff developed by Real Networks and Macromedia together.  RealFlash 

utilizes better sound compression than flash does, and generally has 

better sync too.  The downside to this unfortunately is that RealFlash 

doesn't utilize the alpha channel effects found in Flash 3, and 

producing the project requires "jumping through a few more hoops" as far 

as scripting goes.  If you are interested you can find everything you 

need on Reals site at http://www.real.com
