Audio not in line with Preview in Adobe Animate CC

[gemmah15734369]

Hello all,

I'm trying to create an animation in Adobe Animate CC but have run into trouble with some audio. The animation itself has an opening sequence with two sounds that sync fine on the preview (with command+enter swf preview) The intro music and sound effect to the opening sequence works perfectly fine, however it's the third sound (a character talking) which is bothering me.

When I press the play button on the program itself everything works well. However when I preview the movie command+enter (swf), the audio is out of whack with the characters mouth moving, even though I animated the sound to the character talking, it's the same result if I publish the movie. The audio itself is set to stream with repeat x 1. The third audio of the character dialogue starts a few frames back before the character actually starts talking. 

I've tried re-saving the same audio file again, deleted the old file and importing the sound file again, but it makes the same result, which I think is strange since it's doing the same to a different audio file. I would loved to get this fixed so I can move on with the animation as it's quite distracting, would love to have any help with this.

Have you imported your audio as WAV or MP3? MP3 might cause issues with precise synchronization.

The intro music is an mp3 however the sound effect and character dialogue are .wav files. Might fix that, thanks for the advice! Will come back to tell if fixed or not.

Make sure that each sound has sync set to Stream in the timeline. That should force the audio and animation to keep in step. Maybe you only have the first couple of sounds set that way.

I've changed all sound files to .wav and made sure they're all set to stream, it's still the same reaction happening. Frustrating.

Can you put an example FLA or SWF online somewhere?

[gemmah15734369]

I'd prefer not to share my work until it's finished and I've decided to composite the animation in After Effects to fix the sound problem. Thanks for the reply back again though, I do appreciate it!

There is a new feature worth knowing about, you can now publish SWF Archive. That would give you a zip file of SWFs, that can import into AE as layers. That might save some time.

Go into Publish Settings and look in the list for SWF Archive, check that box and do a Publish.
