Re: FLASH: audio fade-out?

[Dave Hollinden]

Here's what I do in this situation.  When I want a file  to fade out, I put

in a keyframe set to the same sound and with sync set to Stop.  In the same

frame in a lower layer I put another keyframe set to the same sound with

sync set to Loop  and with enough loops to last 4 or 5 seconds, or with the

cropping handles set to the last 5 seconds of the file, and I set the

amplitude handles for a smooth fadeout.


This can cause a glitch when the the looping file is abruptly stopped, and

certainly causes a skip in the audio content when the audio file starts

again from another place in the file.  But most of the times I need  to do

this king of thing it is the result of a button click, and if you add a

sound effect for the button click, or some other sound effect that is

appropriate for the content, then you can mask the glitch caused by

initiating the fade out.


Hope that helps,


Dave
