22.11. Using Sound in Flash Lite

Problem

You want to incorporate sound into your Flash Lite project.

Solution

View the “Using Sound in Flash Lite 1.1” tutorial on Macromedia’s Mobile and Devices Developer Center web site.

Discussion

The Flash Lite 1.1 player supports both device sounds (sounds that are passed from the Flash movie to the host device for playback) and native sounds (sounds that are played natively by the Flash Lite Player). Although the techniques for incorporating native sounds in Flash Lite are analogous to those used in Flash development for the web, the use of device sounds requires a special technique whereby you utilize a proxy sound file as a placeholder for the device sound. The reason for this technique is that Flash 8 Professional doesn’t understand many of the device sound formats that can be played by the host device.

For more information, and for a discussion of the Flash Lite Sound Bundler (which allows you to bundle MIDI, MFi, and other device sound formats for use on a device) see Nader Nejat’s “Using Sound in Flash Lite 1.1” tutorial on Macromedia’s Mobile and Devices Developer Center web site:
