Okay guys, I have my voice in this animation I made....How do you sync the voice in with the mouth as in you slowly word it. By that I mean play the same frame of sound again and again. So... how do you play the same section of sound over again without playing the whole thing.It is Shift + Enter though it doesnt work :(

:confused:

I dunno if Flash has that capability, but with a little effort you could sync it using Audacity.

Open the audio file in Audacity, and move the timeline as close as you can to the start point of the first spoken word in the recording. Most words (especially ones that start with hard consonants) will start at the beginning of each "spike" in the waveform, like this:

Once you find the approximate start time, write down the word and its time on a piece of paper (ie, "Stickpage - 0:01.24") or type it into a word file. Repeat with every word in the recording.

If you multiply your FPS by one of those times, you can determine where to begin animating each word. So for the above example, if the speaking begins on 0:01.24 seconds and you're animating at 20 FPS, you multiply 20 x 1.24 = 24.8, then round it up to 25. Go to frame 25 and write "stickpage" off-canvas as a reference for yourself. Repeat that for every word, and now you know exactly where to animate every word in the recording, and how many frames you have for each one.

It sounds complicated, but it really shouldn't take too long to do, and it'll save you time in the long-run.
