After you have recorded or imported sound, you can play it to verify the audio. You can play sound for a single frame, a series of 3 consecutive frames, or a selection in the waveform.
 
Since sound can be recorded over a series of frames, the sound playback may cover more than one frame. The sound that displays in the waveform is one temporary sound file that maybe made up of the previous, current, and subsequent frames. This sound file is one file in the Sound Editor, but it is stored as three separate files.
 
Note: You need Flash 9.0 or later to play content with sound through the Player or when previewing topics from the Outline Editor. Flash is not necessary to play sound that is embedded as a concept from the Outline Editor.
