Re: FLASH: pitch shifting, clicks, etc.

[Brad Bechtel]

I haven't noticed this "bouncing click" you mention but I have had problems with pitch changes taking place in compression. I have one file in particular that I've attempted to import into Flash for an onMouseover event but when compressed it goes from a high pitch to a much lower pitch. Very annoying. Anyone know of a way to avoid this "pitch shifting".


Check what format the sound is before you import it.  Windows computers prefer to have sounds using these sample rates:

11.025 kHz

22.050 kHz


while many sounds (especially those created on Macintosh computers) use slightly different sample rates:

11.127 kHz

22.255 kHz


The pitch shift occurs as your sound card tries to adjust the pitch to the nearest "correct" frequency.  Resampling the sound in a program such as SoundEdit 16, Sound Forge or similar programs should correct this problem.


I'd like to see a copy of the sound that's giving the "clicks" (sent privately, of course, not to this list).
