Adobe is finally making some noise!

Published by André Michelle May 15th, 2008 in news

Tinic Uro, a Flashplayer engineer at Adobe posted overall three posting addressing the lack of dynamic audio support and how they will change this in the FlashPlayer 10 release. We are so pleased that Adobe finally gives us the option to pass runtime generated sound samples to the sound card. This was one big key issue our campaign has addressed.

To be more detailed, you won’t get a high-level API to transform sounds, but with some Actionscript you can do almost everything you can imagine. As a bonus we will be able to extract encoded MP3 audio data on the fly! The only thing we are not satisfied is the very long latency (200-500ms). Tinic describes in details why this isn’t possible to enhance in FP10.

This is nevertheless a big step towards future - audio applications within the FlashPlayer.

    holla!
    good stuff.
    so does this mean you’ll be able to compute the spectrum of a live mic input???

    escee, no. one of the limitations mentioned in the above links is that you cannot extract data from mic or from netstreams.

    Not to rain on the parade but the sound support is still AWFUL in my opinion. WE DON’T EVEN HAVE THE BASICS YET! And this is all they are releasing FP 10? Looping is STILL awful. The sound classes need a MAJOR overhaul! You can’t even set the VOLUME on a sound effect for god’s sake! This is a minor “shut them up” for a while. This sucks and they are just going to drag us on. Don’t take down this site. This is a *minor* quick fix. I know these when I see them. Um can anyone tell me know how long they haven’t supported even the basic html tags in Flash? I think since version 6 and now we are on 10 and we have to wait until version 11 for anything else!?!?! WTF? i support adobe but this is ridiculous…
