    Flash experts please help ....

    I'm working on a rather long Flash movie with animations that have to match up to the music / lyrics. Is there a way you can 'scrub' the song on IN the Flash timeline, so you don't have to publish and watch the movie everytime you make an edit?

    Any help would be very much appreciated.

          Ok, hold on a sec, I'm lost.

          You have a long animation,
          You added a sound track to it,
          What do you mean by "scrub the song"?

          (yes, I know what scrubbing is; just want to know what you define as scrubbing the song; hearing it when you move the slider?)

              yes exactly ... there is text that is to follow the lyrics in the song and watching 3 minutes before I can see if they match up everytime I make an edit is getting old.

                  It should be audible when you scrub it as it is (but it is very chopped and almost inaudible like that). The way we usually sync everything up is put the song through an app like Sony Acid and count off the exact sync points (time on timeline of track where the key words or phrases come up). Then, in Flash, you can manually sync them up with the timeline of the animation or do it using ActionScript

                      good idea ... thanks for your help. You'd think this would be a function wouldn't you?

                          You would think so (hopefully now that Adobe owns Macromedia, they will add support for things like that)
