Hi all,

Does anybody know if Flash will import MIDI files? I have a feeling that it won't so I would have to work around this by converting my MIDI files to WAV format.

Thanks in advance,

Welcome to the New Age

According to the Flash MX manual, MIDI sound formats are not supported. I suggest converting the MIDIs to WAVs or MP3s with a freeware/shareware product.

Right,

What I could also do is put the MIDI files on another page and have that page open as a pop-up. I thought twice about this because I want to keep the size of my Flash site down as much as possible. That means I'd have to do some creative thinking.

Gosh, I don't know how long it would take to load ... depends on how many sounds there are, I suppose. Besides, sound files are not web pages, and opening them in pop-ups will just ask the client if they want to download. :(

If you were talking about embedding them on the pop-up, I'm not sure that wouldn't take longer to load than importing with the Flash movie.

I'd run some tests and see exactly how long the different techniques take, if I were you.

HTH,

Since it'd be on my computer while I was developing it, I don't think it'd take long at all.
