Adobe released today the beta of the Flash Player 10 on its labs website. Among a couple of really great features is also one that made my day.
Dynamic Sound Generation — Dynamic sound generation extends the Sound class to play back dynamically created audio content through the use of an event listener on the Sound object.
If you do not know what this means: Flash is now finally capable of doing real dynamic audio streaming. I am so happy that Adobe was listening to the community and implemented this feature. A special thanks goes out to Tinic Uro for implementing it. He has also very detailed information about this feature on his blog.
I will post soon some example about how you can use Adobe Pixel Bender (Hydra) to synthesize sound in Flash. Think of it — its fantastic!
Congratulations to you and Andre for pushing this so hard and winning the battle! I’m really excited to see what you guys dream up next.
Yeah, sounds pretty sweet, can’t wait for them to add it to the SDK!
Can’t wait for your Sound Bender example. I fooled around trying to assign Vector. inputs to shaders, but that didn’t work out at all (ArgumentErrors, TypeErrors, whatnot). So – I’m really looking forward to see that particular veil lifted ;-)
