Re: FLASH: Flash sound problem

[2Nerotik]

Also a vital point is being missed in the answers I saw.


A wav file can have MP3 compression (encoding) and still retain the .WAV

extension.


IF you downloaded the wav off the net this is a good candidate for the problem.


If you have the windows media player play the wav and have a look in:

File --> Properties --> Advanced


a normal wav will only show "Default DirectSound Device" in the "Filters in 

use" window


A wav file that's been encoded as an MP3 but still retaining the .WAV 

extension will

show the above "Default Direct..." as well as "MPEG Layer-3 Decoder"


This is the 1st thing you should look for if you download a WAV off the net 

(PC) and it won't

import into Flash.


To fix this problem: rename to .MP3 and use an MP3 to WAV decoder program 

to rewrite the MP3

back to WAV, see previous posts on recommendation for doing this with WinAmp.
