Can't import movie with sound into Flash MX?

[John Dowler]

Hi all,

I'm trying to import a quicktime movie under 10MB into Flash MX. The frames come in fine, and the movie plays, but there is no sound. Where has the soundtrack gone? Do I have to import it separately?

Thanks!

John

The way I understand it, you can not embed a QuickTime file into a Flash Movie. You have to link to it as an external supporting file.

I would check the help files in the Flash application or your manual as I use MX 2004 and the process is slightly different in MX.

hey buddiee........
yeah you're gonna have to import the sound separately and/ or link to external file like ghstdrgns said..........you can't import the sound simultaneously.
OR what i would suggest is that you export the quicktime file as an audio .aif file....and then import/work w/ the sound separately as either an attached sound
using attach sound method

soundtrack = new Sound();
soundtrack.attachSound("soundtrack");
soundtrack.start(.09, 0);

or you can also convert sound to mp3 file and then "stream" it off server using load Sound method, which uses a Boolean (set to 'true' to commence "stream"

soundtrack = new Sound();
soundtrack.loadSound("soundtrack.mp3", true);

OK good luck man ;-)
