Jumpy Flash Music Loops

 

Here's a quick tip if you're doing some music loops in Flash and you find that there is a slight delay before the sound clip restarts. The problem is this for some reason MP3s don't loop very well in Flash whereas WAVs do. You may not want to use a WAV file due to the file size but the good news is you can have your cake and eat it.

Import a WAV version of the sound loop into your library and right-click it and choose Properties and change the compression to MP3. Then alter the Bitrate and Quality settings according to your quality / compression ratio preferences. Your sound will now loop properly - for some reason MP3 don't work unless you let Flash encode it.
