Error message when importing MP3

Hello everyone!

 

Every time I import an MP3 audio file, this message appears:

"one or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them"

The audio shows up both in my timeline and in the library, so I don’t understand why this message pops up. Does anyone know what it could be?

The source file is probably 48000 hz. Mp3s have to be encoded at a sample rate of 44100 hz to be supported by Animate.

You can change the sample rate in Adobe Audition, or if you don't have access to it, use a free online audio converter tool.

I also thought it would be that and it isn't either, does your animate show this type of message or nothing?

my animate imports without error message whether 48khz or 44.1khz, but there are other problems with 48khz

probably cuz flash (or atleast the version of the program youre using) doesnt support mp3 files, convert your mp3 files into wav
