The Flash IDE is capable of embedding many types of uncompressed sound files, including wav, and offers optional compression when publishing.
However, the [Embed] tag, only seems to allow embedding of mp3 files. Is it truly impossible to embed an uncompressed wav file, or am I missing some magic, undocumented mimeType?
I was hoping for something like:
[Embed source="../../audio/wibble.wav" mimeType="audio/wav"]
...but I get
no transcoder registered for mimeType 'audio/wav'
It's possible to embed wav or other format as an octet-stream and parse at runtime, but that's pretty heavy handed I think.
I'm surprised that even though the Flash IDE can embed uncompressed sound data, [Embed] cannot, given that the swf spec can contain uncompressed sound data.
Any takers?
