Help Re: Audio for web presentation 1

[fjp476]

Hi all, I need to make a presentaion for the web (really just a glorified Powerpoint) but it has 23 slides/scenes that each have an audio clip. 2 questions please.
1-Is it possible to make this work for dial-ups?
2-All of the audio clips are just narration so:
a-Should I start with the smallest compression (ie. mp3 streaming) for the audio clips or use a little better quality and have Flash compress them?
b-Should I make 1 swf or make each scene a separate swf?
Any other advice/help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance~Frank Cheers~Frank

i think that whether you can make it for dial ups depends on the sound-quality you want to achieve. i personally would make more than one swf out of it as this way it is much easier to get parts of the presentation loaded when they are needed. otherwise "dialupper" would maybe have to wait years for the whole presentation to be loaded and would quit without even having seen the first frame.
i experienced good quality of sound when flash compressed it but i don't know exactly whether the files are smaller when the sound is already imported as mp3 but i doubt that.

i made a presentation a few weeks ago containing several movies. i made a container of 7 frames and on each of them was a stop and the command to load a movie into level 1. when one movie finished it gave the command to the container to go to the next frame (an then the container loads the next film). that's how i'd try to solve your issue. regards

Thanks, I had a feeling that the separate movies thing would be the way to go. As for the sound quality vs. file size, I acchieved the best results importing wavs and exporting as mp3s. Thanks again, I really do appreciate it.
