multi-channel audio + multi-video project. who can help?

[Mylander]

i am working on a project that plays more than 22 mini-movies synchronly when the site starts.

the user can mute the sound of each video by clicking on it.
clicking again on a muted video sets the level up again.

- whats the best format to use? .flv files?
- is it the best was to set the level to 0 and the to level 100 again when a video is clicked?

it gotta be like a multi-channel music track.
you can turn on and off various channels to change the song.

who can help?

Well, nobody i this board helped me.
not with one hint or detail.............

and nobody told me that flash can only play 8 sounds simultanously!!!
but check the result 21 sounds at the same time....

big respect to kenny, who helped me on this and scripted that engine!!

Can't put on sound at the moment in fear of waking someone, but that looked like a really funny project you got there Can't wait to try it out with sound.

So do you mind sharing the solution? That would be interesting knowledge for a lot of other applications.

Had a similar idea.

Thanks for pointing out that flash plays 8 sounds simultaneously! But wouldn't that make your work impossible (i.e 21 channels!)? You did great by the way.

Hi Mylander,
Just discovered this thread. Very impressive. I was also trying to develop milti-track flash streaming for Indian karaoke songs, where the vocals could be turned off. Would you mind sharing the solution? I have a hunch, that one needs to take over the buffer and combine the streams there. But that may be too far fetched.
