Re: FLASH: Wav Problems

[Marc Hoffman]

So far, I've had problems with my PC-produced sounds playing back, mostly

(or entirely) on Macs (no offense intended :)  ).  Movies that hold just

sounds sometimes come out as static or no sound at all.  Other sounds are

accompanied by static or are entirely noise.  I generally use 11- or 22-kHz

16-bit mono sounds (originally recorded at CD quality) that were converted

to Windows PCM by Cool Edit.  I also use Cool Edit to normalize the sounds

(setting the level to 97% optimum).  One thing I've found is that such a

level is still often too high for Flash to play, at least on some Macs, so

I have dropped the level by about half in the Flash sound level edit

window.  A simpler way, if using Cool Edit, would be to normalize for 50%

optimum level.


At 16-bit, 11kHz PCM WAV format, some music will hold up to the Flash 4- or

5-bit ADPCM compression.  Some sounds deteriorate too much with any Flash

compression.  Generally it adds some white noise, so you have to decide if

you can live with that.
