A4W has had a problem in the past where it creates temp files for
every jpg it opens. These temp files will be located in the temp
directory and will be about 1 meg in size. Before the last release
Authorware wouldn't erase these files so when you opened alot of them
you ran the risk of filling up you drive while the program was running
and getting an "Out of Memory" error. Version 4.02 is supposed to fix
that problem. I prefer using PNG's. There is no load time, like for
jpg's, and they can be 24bit. 

As far as syncing up sound I would suggest using syncpoint and
syncwait. They run off the system clock and will perform the same on
any machine.
