I've got a sound in WAV format embedded in a FLA file which I intend to export into a SWC and instanciate in code.
The sound is too loud! So I made it quieter by running "amplify" in Audition (I also tried Audacity) and setting it to something like -10db.
The new sound is much quieter when I play it in Audition or windows media player, but when I embed it in a FLA and play it in the little previewer, it's as loud as the original. Same goes when I export it to the SWC. I thought I was going mad for awhile until I realized Flash must automatically normalize all sounds to a particular volume. But I can't find any references to this or any setting that stops it. Is this new in CC? Is it a bug?
I thought I remember "Use Original Settings" being one of the choices for compression in CS6 but it seems to be gone. File size isn't an issue in this case, so is there some way to ask Flash not to mess with my wav files at all?
Here are my two sounds and a fla showing them off:
