this question/challenge is inspired by the 25 lines actionscript contest. i was thinking it would be neat to do an audio entry. but i think there is no way to generate audio using only actionscript. am i wrong? can we fool the player into playing image data?
View 4 RepliesI want to build an air app that takes input (for example a list of filenames to be generated) from the user and generates sound files with desired naming. The sound files should be an "empty/silence" sound (wav, aif or mp3). Is it possible the generate such a file? If not, can I use an existing sound and embed it into the app and have that as a source when generating the files? The purpose of this is to get a structure of files ready in the project that will be replaced by our Sound Director. This way, we can trigger all sounds before they are created.
View 1 RepliesI would like to generate a sound in Adobe Air using ByteArray. The sound should be a silence of x seconds. I found this code that I am using to generate the bytes:
private function encode(data : ByteArray) : ByteArray
{
var channels : uint = 2;
var bits : uint = 16;

But when I save the file using Filereference and import it into a flash file I get an error message saying that there were problem reading the file.
If I import an FLV video is there any way to remove the audio, put the audio into a byte array, and then re-add the audio to the flv video?
View 1 RepliesI ran a simple live video streaming application for the first time with actual users and ran into a couple of serious performance issues that had not turned up during testing. In this instance there was one video stream from a live web cam and used FMLE at 150 kbps using VP6 and MP3 @22k. There were 16 clients and everything worked pretty good for about 30 minutes. (although some clients said their audio and video were out of sync by up to 3 seconds)
Then individual clients would have either the video freeze or the video would continue and the audio would stop. These clints had to "disconnect" and then "connect" again to the application. This happened to all of the clients at one time or another for several minutes. I stopped and restarted the FMLE with progessively lower bandwidth settings down to 75 kbps but still clients were having the same issue.
I eventually stopped the FMLE and used the applications built in publisher at 45 kbps and that seemed to eliminate the freeze/dropping issue. But of course the video quality was very poor and some clients still reported that the audio was out of sync with the video. The server hosting the FMS application is a quad processor dell with lots of memory and network connectivity. The Flash Media Admin Console performance graph showed the total Bandwidth as 3 Mbps at maximum.
Anyone know of a skinnable audio player (or something similar to Windows Vista audio control in task bar) that i can embed in my website?
A player that can be customized to use a 'speaker' icon instead of a 'play' icon. When the speaker is clicked, the volume can be adjusted or turned off. The option of being able to autoplay and set the default volume level.
I am converting from .FLV's to .F4V. Video outputs fine but the audio sound stops after a few seconds from the beginning.I have tried many different settings for the audio with no luck. Also, tried on a colleague's machine who is running CS3, which works fine, so something is buggy in CS4...
View 1 RepliesBecause the player optimizes framerate, antialiasing etc dependent on the performance capabilities of the platform upon which it is running, it was nearly impossible to ensure animation syncronization w/ audio. If the audio were on the timeline you could set sync params to stream, but if the audio is loaded programically forget it .. well until AS3 ..The following code throttles the player framerate to lock step the animation to the audio .. not perfect but the principal works ..
View 1 RepliesLet me first establish what I want to do:My user is able to record voicenotes on my website, add tags to said notes for indexing as well as a title. When the note is saved I save the path of the note along with the other info in my DB.Now, I have 2 choices to do the recording, both involve a .swf embedded in my site:
1) I could use Red5 server to stream the audio to my server and save the file and return the path to said file to my app to do the DB saving, seems rather complicated since I would have to convert the audio and move it to the appropriate folder that belongs to the user in a server side Red5 app, which I'm not very aware of how to build.
2) I could simply record the audio and grab its byte array, do a Base64 encoding on it and send it to PHP along with the rest of the data that is necessary (be it by a simple POST or an AJAX call), decode it on the server and make the file with the appropriate extension, audio conversion would also occur here using ffmpeg, this option seems simpler but I do not know how viable it is.
Is there a way to stream and audio line level feed rather than the audio from a computer's microphone?
View 1 RepliesI have an audio player that has a custom timeline and playhead. I am using a start and stop drag to move in the time line but the only way i can make it work is to have it play when ever I release the play head. I would like it to stay stopped if the player is paused and play if the player was playing.

The images for animation load okay. The sound loads okay. But the animation images need to be inserted in coordination with the sounds, which is difficult using only the ears There is a visual graph of audio levels in the library window, which I have seen appear in the timeline also but only momentarily. I do not know how to keep the audio graph on the timeline so as to know where to put the images. I can keep the graph open on the little library window when it is open but not on the timeline. how to keep the graph open on the audio track while I work on the image tracks.
View 1 RepliesMy server is streaming binary audio data (mostly mp3 files) to a client (a browser). This client stores the audio data in memory.
What I'm looking for is a flash audio player that I can input the binary audio data so that it can play the audio file.
Preferably, the flash client is merely a bridge to Javascript so that I can handle everything in Javascript and simply use Flash's audio features, but this is not a requirement.
I have a single audio file, I'd like to avoid cutting it up.
I know I can use the sound class, mySound.play(150), to start at 150ms but haven't come across a way to stop the audio say after 500ms or at 650ms.
I'm looking for a (free) flash player that I can embed in my site and use to play a .m4a (.mp4 with AAC audio) file that will be obtained using a URL (i.e. it's not local to the server hosting the web page).I've tried searching on google for one, but either I'm searching wrong or no one has made such a thing. Ideally this would be very simple (small user interface with play button and maybe a progress bar) and it would be easy to have multiple instances of on an html page (can create the player with an <object> tag).

View 2 RepliesI was wondering if anyone could help me get some information on audio limitations in flash. Is it possible to have audio "scrubbing" that allows you to hear the audio as you scrub? Currently the only way I know to do this is by having it on the timeline, and set to stream. Using this method seems to be causing more issues than it solves. Preferably I would just like to load the audio in dynamically and then scrub through it. Is it possible to use that method and then still retain the ability to hear it as you scrub through it?I am having with the audio on the timeline. The main issue with this is that I have to manually add frames to the timeline, in addition to that I can not dynamically load the audio through xml. Well not that I know of.I think the best route is probably loading in the audio dynamically.
View 0 RepliesI am streaming to live videos with audio to our webpage, each with it's own accompanying audio. On my laptop, I could stream them without any trouble but it would overheat so I had two new computers built just for encoding. Now, on the new computers, the 2 videos stream fine but only on audio file works at a time. The other just gets hung up on one note of sound and repeats very annoyingly over and over.
View 2 RepliesI think it is loading the whole audio first into the swf, but I would like to get confirmation from someone more knowledgible.[code]I want it to stream the audio when the button is clicked only so that 100 of these swf will not slow down a whole webpage from loading.[code]I only start getting concerned when I noticed that on FF and Chrome, the page loads really quick but when I open the page in IE, it takes a very long time for the page to appear.
View 3 RepliesI'm interested in learning how to decode and playback audio in ActionScript 3. I understand how to write bytes to a Sound object using the SAMPLE_DATA event, so that's not really a problem. What I want to understand is how I could implement alternate audio formats for native playback inside of Flash Player. I guess what I'm asking is: how do I take something in X format and "convert/decode" it to WAV format and write the bytes to a Sound object, playing back the audio? I'm interested in writing a decoder for FLAC audio and possibly OGG audio, as these seem to be some of the most widely used open source audio formats

View 3 RepliesIn the past I have created a php file that generates the XML and then referenced it in place of the xml file and it has worked. I am trying this with a precompiled flash app and it is not working.
It works if I run the script, save it and then reference that file to the swf. I would rather not generate a file to the filesystem if possible. Anyone any solutions?
I'm working on the UI for a project. I have a question that hopefully is rather simple. But my whole project hinges on whether or not it's possible, so it's important to me.
generate a .swf from another .swf. Let's say I have a .swf that I export from Flash, and it lets the user choose a number of settings for a piece of generative art, and once they've customized it to their liking, can they then click a button that says "save as a .swf"?
Is it possible to have some server-side tech create a custom PDF based on variables entered into a flash app on a website?

Is it possible to generate multiple thumbnails from a FLV using only as3? The flv is on the same server as the swf so I'm not using any dedicated streaming server. I'd imagine that as long as the flv has load the video you'd be able to pull bitmapdata from a specific time of the flv. My idea is to pull around 8 images from every flv, convert them to buttons and use them as links to specific chapters in the flv. If this is not possible, would it work better with a dedicated streaming server like red5?
Edit: I'd also like to know how to do it if it's possible :) The idea is to not use the server. The thumbnails will only be used within the swif, so no saving to another location.
