Play to Your Audience
When working with multi-
media in a project, you have
to consider your audience. If
you're targeting the cutting-
edge design crowd, you
can safely work with the
latest and greatest in terms of
media formats. This group is
likely to have the most recent
version of Acrobat, and
they're more likely to have
a high-bandwidth Internet
connection. However, if you
are designing for a much
more generic audience, you
shouldn't assume that they
have, for example, the latest
Flash Player, and include
legacy versions of your
media.

Sound Off
Adding a sound file to the movie is a similar process to adding movies or Flash.
Choose the Sound tool
where you want to place the file. For the most part, you leave the sound file invis-
ible, unless you want to use a poster to identify a sound button. The Add Sound
dialog opens and offers the same options as those for the Add Movie dialog, with
the exception of the "Snap to content proportions" setting, which doesn't apply to a
sound file. Choose your settings; then click OK to close the dialog.
