popping sounds from audio

[TedBoomerang]

I've been having this irritating problem with my sounds becoming really messed up when converted to flash. the sound itself plays okay, but it's always followed by a jarring "POP" at the end, and it seems no matter what setting I use, it's the same result. Any tips?

Try adjusting the bitrate in the Application Properties, see if that makes any difference.

If there are overlapping samples, try dropping all sample volumes to 50%. The flash build doesn't cope with overlapping samples very well. Reducing the sample volume helps for some reason.

Sometimes pop and clicks are also caused by the sound suddenly starting or stopping. If that is ever the reason a workaround is to just make them fade in or out slightly in a audio editor.

Yep, I took the worst-offenders and increased their length, that helped a lot. changing the bitrate and compression did sometimes, but not as much as editing the sound itself. Thanks!
