It will have to be compressed in Flash, ideally using Flash4 with MP3 

compression (limiting your listeners to those with the Flash4 plug-in). You 

may need to keep any animation quite limited to allow maximum bandwidth for 

the audio. Also, you need as much free RAM as the size of the audio sample 

you're importing to Flash, and be prepared for a VERY long wait while Flash 

renders the audio. If using TestMovie to check only the animation and 

button functionality, you may want to turn off audio (there's a control for 

this in the toolbar) so you're not waiting for audio rendering every time.
