I'm trying to make sure my flash movie with audio and animation can play over a
56k modem and not take a long time for it to begin playing. Is there a secret
to doing this? Right now my audio is between 60kb and 130kb MP3s - the lowest
I could get without it sounding like I'm talking in a tin can. Is there a
piece of software that can compress WAVs or MP3s even further? Can you put a
WMA into Flash? If so how, because it won't import them into the library for
me? I know there's a solution to my problems because I've seen it done, but I
need some help on this.

Sound is like whole other chapter of skills in flash.
Compression is very individual for each sound type.
For instance Voice is different type of audio than complex layered music.
There is many ways to efficiently compress lengthy voice file to really small
file with unusually clear quality ..
Save it as ADPCM (adaptive pulse code modulation) or Mp3 9kbps as your second choice.

Also , good idea is to layer your audio. If you design the sound yourself than do not make
one complex loop out of it but separate the instruments and layer them on timeline to make it
sound as one sound playing. This allow you to compress each tiny audio separately .
As problematic as it might be , it could produce extraordinary results .
Size and quality wise .
Try killersound.com , they cover all type of flash and audio aspects .
Some good stuff to read.
