Suddenly Flash is not importing sound with the video in my .fla's. I dont hear the sound when I scrub the timeline nor when I preview the swf. Does anyone know what would cause this?

TIA

Hi Urami,

Turns out its just Quicktime movies. Is that normal? I changed the video to windows media and imported just fine.

Is it all videos or just some files ?
Because not all sound compressions used in videos
are supported by flash. Perhaps the one you try to import
is one of these unsupported one.

It's common.
QT player is tolerant on variety of sound compressions used in MOV files.
Lots of tools , lots of different outputs, overall MOV can work just fine, if you test
for example the QT sample.mov that comes with the installation you will notice
it works properly, that's just some MOV's , you could always extract the audio and import
separately.

I may have to do that because now, even though I have the sound its very quiet.
I have to pull the volume slider (on the pc) halfway up before I can hear
anything at all. Can I control the sound in an embedded vidoe clip with
Flash? Amelia

If you placed that in movie clip you could define that movie clip in sound object
and control it's value using action script but I would not do that.
Now i'm positive it's the MOV file sound compression that flash has hard time
dealing with. Best is really to use QT player to extract the audio than the video
save both as new files and import back to flash on separate layers.
Set the audio to stream and it should be align with your footage.
Just make sure you keep same properties like frame rates for both and of course
flash to be set similarly to keep it sync. The advantage of separating video from sound
is that you can alway apply separate export compression in flash, reducing file size by reducing
the sound quality and not damaging the video. You can optimize and manipulate easier.
