The link Daniel gave brings up an html page. This page is blank except

for two lines that read :

testing link and testing link

They are located in the upper left corner of the browser window.

On closer inspection they reveal their true nature, they are cleverly

hidden and disguised links... 

So this is one thing you should learn Daniel, next time you post a link

for anyone to test please give it in a more direct way, you can't expect

us to know what a hyper link is !

For the benefit of all Daniel should have given

http://www.manelylabsflash.com/pro_mu.htm

or even better

<warning>

The above site DOES NOT have the proper mime type setting for Flash

Movies ! Very naughty !

</warning>

<note>

This type of test should be done with full knowledge of what's involved.

And now for my comment.

Using version r26 of the flash plugin the sound from the movie contains

a lot of background static. This could of course be a desired effect. To

do a proper test I should know what the original sound should feel like.

So I did the next best thing under the circumstances.

I went to the browsers cache and opened the swf file in the standalone

player. What a difference no background static at all.

OK let's do a quick swap. Replace the r26 version with an older version.

Reload the page and no, no background static. Reinstate the r26 version,

yep there's that static again.

Conclusion :

As I didn't read the 14218 tech note and I'm assured by a Macromedia rep

that no problems have been found with sound involving r26 and as I don't

want to sound to basic I chalk it up to one of those case where we run

into problems from time to time. So the static is being produced by

gremlins that live and is purely coincidental with the presence of r26.

As a side note I did run a test on sound containing flash files that I

happen to have around and would you believe it, they all show static

when played via r26 ? Well such is life...
