Review: Sound Effects, Special Effects, Royalty Free, and TV Tunes sound websites  (Beware of Viruses)

Post: Two interesting Sounds on Canvas under the Discussion Board under Sounds. You should also look for different sounds to use for future assignments.

Post: Ad in Canvas

VIP Tech issue:  Sound must be imported after frame two or it won't work!

Additional Information:

Canvas doesn't have the same sound controls as ActionScript 3.0. You can start a sound but not stop until it is over like you can do with ActionScript setting.

Exporting as an .MP4 (or .mov) requires you to stream the audio in the animation instead of the event setting.

Flash Stores Sounds in the library
