Cedric, Ian,
Again, many thanks for your time, and looking into this for me.
It looks like this did this trick...
The audio file in the inner SWF was and .mp3, and had been imported
into the library.
I checked the export settings in the properties, and it "Compression"
setting was "Default."
So, I tried changing that to MP3.
Also, I looked closely at the Publish settings...
There, you can choose the Compression setting for "Audio stream" - I
set that to MP3 also.
The, republished the movie, and voila! I worked!
Sorry if this was as obvious as the nose on my face, but I don't know
much about working with sounds in Flash, and compression settings.
Have a great evening!
Cheers,
Matt
