Thanks, it's amazing what you can turn a cheap Flash template into if
you know how to alter it correctly in Flash. ;)

Other editors might be able to do this, but since Flash needs to know
where to put the 'offsets' in the file, your other programs have to be
able to export your sound as a swf so you can import them into your
Flash movie as symbols and have the Flash player understand what it's
supposed to do with it. (explained below)

Using my technique is not really editing the mp3 itself, it's simply
telling the Flash player where to start, end & restart it from inside
the Flash movie. The actual sound imbedded in Flash stays the same,
complete with a dead space at the start of it. You just don't hear it
since by editing it inside Flash itself you're telling Flash to overlap
the offset with the end of the sound file.
If you're just using a small mp3-only swf in a webpage, another product
that makes a Flash swf might be a better fit for your needs than the MM
Flash program itself. There are plenty out there that can do very simple
stuff like control a single sound file that only cost a little $. There
might even be free ones, I've just always used Flash.
As far as editing an mp3 in something to eliminate the offset, I'm not
sure you'll have a lot of luck. Just another advantage of using Flash to
do the all dirty work I guess. ;)
Cheers,
