Creating a sound bundle (Flash Professional only)

Flash Lite 2.0 provides the ability to encapsulate several device sounds of different formats

into a single sound bundle. As an example, a single Flash application can contain the same

sound represented in both MIDI and MFi formats. When the application is played on a

device that supports MIDI audio, Flash Lite selects the MIDI sound data from the sound

bundle and passes it to the device to play. Similarly, if the application is played on a device

that supports only MFi, Flash Lite passes the MFi sound data to the device.

You use a utility called the Flash Lite Sound Bundler to create a sound bundle (FLS) file. You

then link the FLS file to a proxy sound in your Flash Lite document, just as you would do for

a single device sound. For more information about adding device sounds to your Flash Lite

applications, see “Using bundled device sound” on page 48.

To create a sound bundle file:

1. Open the Flash Lite Sound Bundler application (FlashLiteBundler.exe) located in the

Flash 8 installation folder (for example, boot drive/Program Files/Macromedia/Flash 8/

FlashLiteBundler.exe).

NOTE

As of this writing, the Sound Bundler utility is supported by Windows systems only.
