Adding Flash Audio
Mr. McDonell
Grab the square located at the top left of the waveform box and move it down
to just above ½ volume.
You can test your volume by pushing the play arrow at the bottom of the Edit
Envelope window. When you think it’s right…
Press Ctrl+Enter to view your animation with sound.
Now experiment with different sounds and change the amount of bounces that the
ball makes.
Save your file to your local hard drive.
Congratulations! You’ve added Audio to your Flash animation.
