Soundfiles in Flash

Been trying to figure out why oh why my MP3 audio file will not work in flash!!! Followed step by step instructions however have been informed that flash can be picky when it comes to playing MP3's created in certain software.

I have tried converting my sound file into an MP3 using apples itunes... audacity is useless as it needs a lame file and is all very confusing.. I dont have soundbooth as used at Uni by Rob. Managed to google help and found a helpful blog which explained how to convert sound file into a wav as this is more flash friendly, depending on bit rates etc (it gets complicated).

Im pleased to say it has worked and my snail is ALIVE and talking!

Huge sigh of relief.
