I'm just trying to get started here. I have generated my .swf from a 
.avi file and recorded my own .mp3. ffmpeg told me that the file was 30 
fps, although it doesn't seem to make much difference whether I use 
fps=50 or fps=30. The voice over stops about halfway through, and the 
.swf plays back at about half the speed of the .avi, whether it's 
combined with the .mp3 or not. It does seem to be slower when combined.

Do you see anything obvious that I am doing wrong?

.flash name=combined.swf fps=30
        .frame 1
        .sound sound1 Scene3.mp3
        .swf file1 seaIce_2008_V2_wDates.swf
        .put file1
        .play sound1
.end

I will try to work with the individual .jpg's converted to .swf's next.

Thank you very much for all your help. You are very generous,
