Comments on: Correction – Not creepy! http://www.make-some-noise.info/2008/10/21/correction-not-creepy/ A campaign for enhancing Flash audio Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:41:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Gerry Beauregard http://www.make-some-noise.info/2008/10/21/correction-not-creepy/#comment-5775 Gerry Beauregard Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:41:51 +0000 http://www.make-some-noise.info/2008/10/21/correction-not-creepy/#comment-5775 I have to agree with AndrĂ© Michelle that the Flash audio support could be better, but even as is it opens up some amazing possibilities, as his own work demonstrates. I've been working on a couple of audio-related Flash projects in recent months, both written using Flex/ActionScript 3, and taking advantage of Flash Player 10's audio capabilities. One is Sonoflash, a collection of interactive sound effects models that Flash developers can download (as SWCs) and integrate into their projects. See http://www.sonoflash.com. I've also been tinkering away on a pet project of my own, a real-time audio time-stretching and pitch-shifting app, which you can try at www.audiostretch.com. The biggest challenge in writing real-time audio code in Flash/AS3 is performance - not just of the audio API, but of the language and platform in general. The performance is nowhere close to what I was used to using C and a fast library of DSP functions like Intel IPP. But AS3 is fun to program in, and being able to run audio apps right in the browser is really appealing.

My understanding is that the prerelease list was notified of this change before the final release. Is that not the case? Thanks, Lee I’m trying to get get some more information so we can help avoid issues like this in the future.
