Flash 9 Audio Variables help please

Post by DB »

Is it possible to get the audio variables from Resolume in flash 9 and if so how?

Doesn't seem to work the same way as in flash MX, flash 8 doesn't seem to work either?.

I've tried LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters but they are not there maybe I'm getting the pathing wrong?

Thanks

right I've sorted the FLash 8 problem.

Flash 8 is more strict with variable names and the ones passed by resolume are all lower case eg raudioleftmid not RAudioLeftMid etc as given in the manual.

I tried using these lcase variable names in flash 9 but still no joy.

I'll have to re-write my flash 9 code to flash 8 but I'd rather use 9 as it's faster. :(

Anyway hope the info re flash 8 helps someone.

Did you ever find an answer to this question? I'm having the same issue. I've tried using LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters, but no dice. Does anyone know if resolume utilizes fscommand or the ExternalInterface API to send parameters to flash? If so what command names can we gain access to?

After trying every conceivable option for accessing the fft properties in flash I've come to the conclusion that it just doesn't work with Actionscript 3 and the new flash VM. I'm going to have to back port a bunch of stuff to AS2...grrrr. I just wish someone at Resolume was paying attention to these forums and could've told me that before I wasted a whole night trying to figure that out.

"Someone at Resolume" .. ehm yes that would be me ;-)

I,m sorry to hear that AS3 is not able to receive variables from Resolume, we will have a look at it and make sure it's fixed in our next major release (version 3). Note that this is not going to be next week or next month so until then you,ll have to use AS2.

PS no need to get grumpy to us, Macromedia/Adobe is the one who broke this, not us.

Thank you for the response Bart. I was not grumpy because it doesn't work with Adobe's update to the flash player. I was grumpy because I've been trying to get some help from Resolume for well over two months and it has been very difficult to get an answer. :( I was hoping you knew a way to get the communication to AS3 to work.

I backported the code but because the AS2 VM is so much slower than the AS3 VM, the AS2 versions do not play well unless I drop the framerate to 5 frames per second. That means I'm very much looking forward to your next Resolume update. Code faster! ;)
