How to add sound to Adobe Flash cs3/cs4

Hello everybody! I am showing you how to import sounds into Adobe Flash cs3/cs4. A lot of people find it hard, but it really isn't.

Here are the supported sound formats:

MP3 (Moving Pictures Expert Group Level-2 Layer-3 Audio): This cross-platform format is a standard for web and portable audio files. In many respects the growth of this format is tied to the popularity of iPods and audio players on cell phones. Though you can output these files in stereo, you'll want to pay close attention to bandwidth settings for your MP3s.

WAV: If you use a PC to record a voiceover or other sound, you are familiar with the WAV format. WAV files have sample rates ranging from 8 kilohertz (the quality of your phone) up to 48 kilohertz (DAT tapes) and beyond. These files are also available with bit depths ranging from 8 bits right up to 32 bits. Just keep in mind that a file with a sample rate of 48 kilohertz and a 32 bit depth will result in a massive file size that simply shouldn't be used with Flash.

QuickTime: These files have extensions of .qta or .mov and can contain audio in many formats. If you do create a QuickTime audio file, you need to make the movie self-contained in QuickTime Pro.

AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format): AIFF is the standard for the Macintosh and offers the same sample rates and bit depths as a WAV file. Many purists will argue that the AIFF format is better than the WAV format. This may indeed be true, but to the average person the difference between this format and WAV is almost inaudible.

Cn anyone help me, the sound file goes in but when i drag it on the timeline i can't see the audio?

[RANDOMTUTORIALS92]

@FilmCrysis What type of sound file are you using?

[HAYveku]

when i do that it says the files cant be read and im like what??? any tips

[RANDOMTUTORIALS92]

@HAYveku That could mean that the file type isn't supported. Check that the the file is either one of these. AIFF, MP3, QuickTime, WAV.

hi! I just want to ask if how can i put different sound in each frame?? Because I try to import 1 sound and when i play it applies to the whole frame i have 40 frames....

@FilmCrysis don't drag it in the timeline, put an empty keyframe in your timeline and drag the sound to your stage :p

@demonninjagrl well, check by click on your time where the music is. then check in the properties tab if sync on the event mode.

basically if its your first time it will be set on event. which is wrong

[Morelazyimpossible98]
