You can open the library through Window -&gt; Library. Open the library to see the imported MP3 file. <\/p>\n<p><img vspace=\"5\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"add mp3 audio file to flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.partnersinrhyme.com\/contact\/images\/addflash\/image_5.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, you can preview the file in the library and perform some optimization in the settings. But that&rsquo;s not the focus of this tutorial, we just want to add some sound to our movie. Go to the timeline of the movie and add an additional layer (Insert -&gt; Timeline -&gt; Layer). <\/p>\n<p><img vspace=\"5\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"sound layer, content layer in flash audio tutorial\" src=\"http:\/\/www.partnersinrhyme.com\/contact\/images\/addflash\/image5.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now you have 2 layers on your timeline. Rename the upper layer &ldquo;Sound&rdquo;, the layer below rename to &ldquo;Content&rdquo;. That&rsquo;s it. Your timeline should now look like on image 7. <\/p>\n<p><img vspace=\"5\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"timeeline for audio in flash tutorial\" src=\"http:\/\/www.partnersinrhyme.com\/contact\/images\/addflash\/image_7.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Select the first frame on the layer &ldquo;Sound&rdquo; and open the first properties panel (Window -&gt; Properties). In the panel, find the &ldquo;Sound&rdquo; drop down panel and select the imported sound file. <\/p>\n<p><img vspace=\"5\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"sound drop menu in flash tutorial\" src=\"http:\/\/www.partnersinrhyme.com\/contact\/images\/addflash\/image_8.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can now test the movie clicking on Control -&gt; Test Movie or pressing Ctrl + Enter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first thing you have to do of course is to start Flash.
