Summary

You've covered a lot of territory in this chapter. You've been introduced to basic sound theory. You've learned how to layer and synchronize sounds. You've also had a look at how you synchronize simple animation with long-playing sounds. As an added bonus, you've learned how to turn sound off and on and how to preload your entire movie. In Chapter 18, "Controlling Sound Using the Sound Object," you'll further refine your sound-editing skills by using the Sound object.

Now that you understand the basics of using sound in Flash, you can apply the techniques you've learned to all your projects. To aid you in future efforts, you'll find a list of Sound Resources in Appendix C, "Flash Resources."
