Adding audio to an FLC file? Can it be done?

I work with SNAP PRO X to create MAC tutorials of FCP and other software. Great program but the quicktime files
it creates are huge!

I've determined that you can compress them to FLC files
and pretty much keep the resolution high, but I can't
seem to attach an audio file (i.e. voice-over) to the FLC.

Can this be done?

Any input would be appreciated.

"Hmm, what's FLC?" he asked, hesitant to display ignorance.

It's a file usually used with animations. If you look
in Export - Quicktime Conversion you'll find FLC as one
of the options.

It's like Quicktime or AVI or JPEG, but I surmise it is usually associated with animations.

its a 'flic' and was created by Autodesk for export from their early Animator Program (which eventually morphed into 3d Studio then Max)

FLC is not a multimedia (audio + video) format. If you are looking for small files, mpeg files offer a better way to go. sorenson Squeeze or compressor can create mpeg2 files that should play well on PCs.

Ah, then the answer is easily determined by examining the codec's export settings. is there an audio component?

Wait.

The answer is you can't add audio to FLC files. You're not meant to.
