FLASH MX: MP3 PLAYING IN A MOVIE SIZE

[mmx]

How do you shrink the size of MP3 so i can put on movies without bandwidth issues.
I see alot of flashmx movies with cool sounding sound and I want to know how do I add the MP3 to a background.

This is pretty simple actually if you know some actionscripting.
What you will need to do is to call upon a mp3 which is on your hosting server. The biggest mistake many flash sites make is embedding (importing) these mp3s or wav sound files into the movie itself, so when you actually export the .swf you end up getting this HUGE file.

The beauty of MX is that it is now easy to control these sound objects which you can easily call upon when using a button, or maybe just onLoad.

I know none of this makes that much sense without an example, so here you go, study it and you'll understand it, i threw in some comments, though this is not my actual work.

if you have any other questions I highly recommend you go visit these boards.

have fun,
