RE: FLASH: Looping audio stream problem

[Dan Sobczak]

Cheri,


The .fla file is about 3.6MBs in size, so it's somewhat big...  I've

uploaded a zipfile (3.1MBs) of it to the same path:


http://www.phoenix360.com/test/neo/dsobczak.zip


BTW -- I did try varying the # of frames at the beginning of the sound loop

before I posted my question, but that didn't seem to fix it - only added

more space whenver more frames were added...


-Dan

Hi, Dan.  I see what you mean.  Not being the audio expert (or any expert

for that matter, <grin>) I would like to ask if you could post the .fla

there for us to download & "dink around with" - I do like to solve puzzles,

but do so better with the file in hand.  My inclination is to vary the # of

frames at the start of the scene...or look at the fade-in (or not)

properties of the sound clip, or just generally look around at the file....
