Re: FLASH: Sound settings boggling mind

[Marc Hoffman, Poison Dart Frog Media]

Hi Jeff,


 From what I've heard, if Flash3 is selected, MP3 compression is not used. 

But your question has me wondering, too. The function of override is to 

ignore individual settings for sounds (applied through the library list). 

Have you looked at the Size Report to try to determine this? Use Generate 

Size Report (an Export Movie option) and look at the report that's 

generated. Toward the bottom of the report it indicates original and 

exported sizes of sounds.


If you test this, please post your findings.


thanks,

Marc
