Realtime audio recognition in flash

[peaceorpiss]

Hi all, i am currently working on a audio visualizer in flash but is stuggling to get flash to detect sound off my onboard sound card. Is it even possible now with flash 10? Something like an audio fft but in flash.

appreciate if someone can help me out here.

Unfortunately, you can't get that information directly from the microphone. It's a really stupid design desicion on adobe's part. You could get it if you stream it to and from a server such as red5.

not microphone. from the audio input of the soundcard directly, like an audio fft.
Is it possible?

Definitely not possible directly. There's no access to non-microphone audio in at all.

You could probably create a server which streams the audio to flash and access it as any other stream. It sounds like you're creating something that's more like an installation than a website, is that right?

Yes totally. I like it to work on a audio visualizer in flash that reacts to any sound that's playing in the background.
