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

I am using Flash CS4 and Flash CS5.  I bought some music from Amazon MP3 that I want to use in my Flash animation and I keep getting this error upon import:  one or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them

What does that mean?

    I'm guessing that these are mp3 audio files. They may have  been sampled at a rate that Flash doesn't like or it may mean that the file format is one that Flash doesn't like. I've seen this a lot and my solution is to open the offending file in a sound editor, check the sampling rate, change it, if necessary, and then resave the file. It will usually import after that exercise.

      Rob,

      That did the trick -  thank you - thank you - thank you!  - You were dead on correct!  I took it into Soundbooth and that fixed it....
