Flash 101 (part 6): The Final Countdown - Squeezing It All In (
Page 5 of 7 )
Flash typically exports all the sounds
in a movie clip when you publish the movie. As the author of the movie, you have
a fair amount of control over the export process, including the ability to set
various compression options like sampling rate and quality.
All these
options are available to you in the Sound Properties dialog box, which you can
get to from the Properties shortcut menu that appears when you right-click the
sound file in the Library. There are four compression options available: default
(default settings), ADPCM, MP3 and raw (no compression). A test button allows
you to preview the sound clip with your selected compression
settings.
Some of the compression options
allow you to specify bit rates and quality - remember that higher compression
equals smaller files equals lower quality when experimenting with these
settings.
