Re: FLASH: Audio cross-platform problem

[Russell E. Unger]

You're completely correct, based upon what I've seen with my sound

importing...but...


Well, although it's not technically "compressing" a file, I do "reduce" the file

to 8bit sound and mono.  I mean, it's the internet, you really don't need

surround sound on it; that's only for the gamers, for the most part (not trying

to offend anyone).


Unless I'm sampling something cool (legally, you've got 7 seconds, I believe)

and then I'll sacrifice sound file size a bit for stereo.
