Chapter 3:  Working with Sound
Embedding sound
Because Flash MX Professional 2004 does not natively support certain audio formats such as 
MIDI or SMAF, you must temporarily substitute a proxy sound in a recognized format such as 
MP3. You can use options in the Sound Properties dialog box and the Flash Publish Settings 
dialog box to link the proxy sound file to a MIDI file.
Sound files that have been substituted are displayed in green; blue sound waves are files that haven’t 
been substituted.
For information on how to substitute sounds in your Flash Lite content, see 
.
Compound sound
Flash Lite 1.1 provides the ability to encapsulate device-specific sounds of multiple formats into a 
single tagged data block. This provides content developers with the ability to create a single piece 
of content that is compatible with multiple devices. As an example, a single Flash movie can 
contain the same sound represented in both MIDI and MFi formats. This Flash movie can be 
played back both on a device that supports only MIDI and on a device that supports only MFi, 
with each device playing back the specific sound format that it natively supports.
During content creation, content developers identify the sound files in the formats that they want 
to bundle together. An external tool (FlashLiteSoundBundler.exe) is available to bundle the 
identified sound files into one sound data block, to be played when triggered by an event. When 
the appropriate event is triggered, Flash Lite 1.1 processes this bundled sound data block and 
plays the sound data in the specific format supported by the device. The sound bundle file 
generated by the FlashLiteSoundBundler.exe program creates a file with the extension .fls.
The steps to create a Sound Bundle File are:
1.
Launch FlashLiteSoundBundler.exe.
2.
Drag and drop a sound file to be bundled into the target window.
The FlashLiteSoundBundler.exe allows you to create compound sounds.
