flash actionscript: Hi,

I have a swf file that was done in Flash 7. I need to bring this file into
Flash 8. However, when I do this, the sound no longer plays. Has anyone else
had this problem? If so, is there a "work around?"

Thanks!

Let me elaborate... I have a superstitial that was made with Flash 7 and I
don't have the fla file but rather the swf file for it. I am being asked to add
it to a website that I am building in Flash 8. Right now I have created a
movieclip and imported the file to the time line with a stop action at the end.

Please help!!

Hi,

Thank you for answering this question.

I do not have the fla file and the person that I am doing this for hasn't been able to track it down. Is there something else that I can do?

you can re-create the fla by decompiling the swf or create a new swf or if you
know the linkage id used in that external swf, you could import the same sound
file into your main swf and assign it the same linkage id. those are your
options.

When I import the swf into Flash 8, the movie clip has no sound properties in
the properties window. Each frame has sound within the movieclip but they do
not play. The swf plays fully when played in it's original form within an html
page. There are no outside sound files present to hear the sound.

I don't know how to decompile the swf except to save it to a timeline in a
movieclip. Is there another method?

Thanks!

the issue has nothing to do with the flash versions. the issue was the sloppy
coding in that external swf: it probably has something like:

var s:Sound=new Sound();

that should be changed to:

var s:Sound=new Sound(this);
