Steve, Can you please tell me about how your SB board synchs to a .fli frame? Does it synch to the first frame and then just play along or can you lock particular audio points to particular frames? I need to synch audio to each frame or perhaps every tenth frame. I realize that there is a problem trying to PRECISELY synch audio to fli files because the animation speed will not remain constant while playing on a computer. The only solution I've found is to put the animation on video tape and synch it via video editiing techniques. All the sound boards I've tried claim to be able to synch audio with .fli's but they are only able to synch the start points. I work in forensic animation and I need real, continuous synch. Do you have a solution? Alec Jason
