Using External Audio Files Instead of Importing Them into FLA

I’m working on a project with 50 to 100 audio files. Importing all of them into the FLA file would make it excessively large. Since the audio files are already linked externally from my computer, can I avoid embedding them in the FLA? I only need them to sync with the animation, as the final product will load the MP3 files externally.

yes, but you already seem to know that you can load the audio files using code so it's not clear what you're asking.

I am asking if Adobe Animate can reference external audio files during editing without embedding them in the FLA file. This would help keep the FLA file size smaller while allowing us to use the required audio to sync with animations.

no.

also, syncing with loaded files requires advanced coding skills.
