Why swf files with mp3/wav are so big ?

[mathieu]

Hi all

I did a sound player with flash. Imported some mp3 loops.

so, 1th mp3 size is 10k. the second one is 5k.

the first one is repeated in one layer 5 times (with continue attribut to prevent sound stop/glich).

The second one repeated after the 1th one, 10 times.

The swf exported file must be about 20k sized. But it takes more than 100 k !!!

what the ... . Do you know why flash export it like that ? (F 5, F MX)

:confused:

check your "audio export settings", maybe flash is overriding the mp3 compresion...i always let flash do the compresion work, to test some settings, as far as i can tell, flash compress again the audio(or it thinks so!!!) when exporting...also check this:

import your audio in flash in these formats:

for music: wav/aiff 22mhz/16bits loosing some high frecuencies, but good

for speach: wav/aiff 22mhz/8bits loosing all high frecuencies,(speach just contains medium frecuencies.

and test various settings(sometimes on flash, more compression, gives bigger sizes, i tested this on flash5).
