I know it is possible to add sound to a flash project but the video I watched on adobe shows it using a '.aiff' file does my media need to be in this format as on the video the file is changed after it has been imported.

I am trying to use .mp3 if that is any use.

Regards,
J

AIFF is a lossless format, like wave. You can't "make" an AIFF file by starting with a compressed format that has already removed some of the data from the sound file. Or to be clearer, if you convert a lossy format like MP3 to AIFF, it won't sound any better than the MP3 file did.

If you convert an original .wav file to AIFF, it will sound just as good as the wave, but it will also be much larger than a compressed file such as MP3. So I'd suggest just go with MP3.
