The sampling rate and degree of compression make a significant difference in the quality and size of sounds in exported movies. The more you compress a sound and the lower the sampling rate, the smaller the size and the lower the quality. You will have to experiment to get the best results.
Control the exported quality and size of individual sounds using the export settings in the Sound Properties dialog box. If there are no export settings defined for a sound, Flash exports the sound using the sound settings in the Publish Settings dialog box. See Flash publish settings. To override export settings for all the sounds in a movie, enter the sound settings in the Publish Settings dialog box. This option is useful if you want to create a larger high-fidelity audio movie for local use, and a smaller low- fidelity version for the web.
Note: In Windows, you can also export all the sound from a movie as a WAV file using File > Export Movie. See Using Export Movie and Export Image.
To set export properties for an individual sound:
| 1 | Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) a sound file in the Library window and choose Properties from the context menu.
|
| 2 | If the sound file has been edited externally, click Update. |
| 3 | Set export settings as described in Specifying sound compression options. |
| 4 | Click Test and Stop to play and stop the sound. |
