[Swftools-common] Newbie having difficultly with mp3 sound file

[Bill Gray]

Hi again,

I've figured out almost everything that I need to get this project done, but I 
am having some unexpected difficultly with sound.

I can load an mp3 sound track with...

<code>
.sound snd "soundtrack.mp3"

.play snd
</code>

But it won't play all the way through.  It gets chopped off in the middle.

I can load the same sound using a .wav file, but the .wav is 2.9MB where the 
mp3 is 350kB!!!

I have tried to play the mp3 through action script with the lines...

<code>
    .sound snd "soundtrack.mp3"

        .action:
            acSnd = new Sound(this);
            acSnd.attachSound("snd");
            acSnd.start();
        .end
</code>

But this suffers from the same cut off issue as the simple way.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill
