Sound problems. URGENT!

[tiptipponit]

I created a short movie for home use, so there is no size problem.
the movie has 2 mp3 sounds, one 3 min long and the other 30 sec.
The problem is that the minute they are imported into flash, no matter if I mark them in best, stereo quality, 128 bit, no matter if they are stream or event, they sound bad!

The problem start the minute they are imported to flash. even before the export to swf, when I check it inside flash it's bad, outside-good
I have tried everything, including splitting the movie to several movies. nothing works.
the minute they are imported they are ruined!
Please HELP!

Can you make your 30 seconds' one available online, so we can try to download it and import it, to determine if only your sound settings are badly set?

Hi there...
the file is available at

I truly hope u can help.

Sounds fine to me, when imported!

Do you get this bad quality with any other mp3?
If so what are your sound settings under the Flash Publish Settings' tab?

[tiptipponit]

yes. all mp3 sound like taat, and some even worse.
my publish settings are set to best quality possible.
and as I said before, the problem starts even inside flash.
what can be the problem???

 

[oldnewbie]

Do you get this when importing .wav sounds as well?

...my publish settings are set to best quality possible..

Don't give me that! Give me what they're set to!

Well, i haven't really tried.
any way, I uploaded the relevant part of my fla file to:

http://www.ebank-international.com/bday4zip.zip

it's about 5mb.
I's truly appreciate if you could check it.

being close to tears doesn't even begin to describe my fealings of desparation... :-(

thanx,
Sivan

You must have some .wav sound you can import to see if you'd have the same problem. Do a find *.wav, and test it before I try to download your .fla.

With wav it's exactly the same..

Tip,
Check this out:

If sound quality seems ok (this being viewed through your Flash player) to you and you're getting the same bad quality problem when importing .wav files in your Flash application... Guess you're facing a re-install of the Flash application (not the player!).
Which doesn't mean it will surely work better afterwards!
Could be other problems related to soundcard and/or drivers etc. etc.

If this was urgent, I'd try that! Unless you find somebody who will output the file for you.

BTW, I've re-compress your mp3 cutting down it's size from the +/- 3.5MB it was to around 450KB which is surely much better!

[tiptipponit]

I'll try...
Thanx a lot for all your help!

Oh.. and where did you recompress teh mp3? during importing or exporting? and to what?
Tip.

 

[oldnewbie]

What I did was override the sound settings under the Flash tab of the Publish settings (check the box!) and set the stream & event to 20kbps (minimum to not convert strereo to mono) and quality at best, rather than your 120kbps. It takes a little more time to output the .swf each time, but obviously cuts down on the file's size (the .swf - not the .fla!).
