Speaker/Plant thing peices were made in photoshop. (click on the black dot to start the animation.

I'd love your feedback :)

P.S. It might take a min to load, but it will. Didnt want to take time on a preloader for a little animation like this.

Seems cool. I'd contain the blur effect into the silver part of the speaker, and maybe make the whole plant jolt a bit when it hits heavy bass or whatever. Cool though.

Yknow, I was wanting to do that. Is there a way to make the animation react to the sound(like an equalizer would?)

I expected more from it. It started out cool, and then just stopped after like half a second of interesting animation and went into an endless loop... :-/

Yea, lol. Didnt mean to get yer hopes up. :) Just a little thing.

It's a good thing, really. It started out so well that I really was genuinely disappointed when it didn't keep going. Great start. :P

Thanks! :) Until about 2 weeks ago i hadnt done anything with flash since flash five. Then i picked up a copy of version 8 and realized all of the improvements that have been made to the program. Im havin a lot of fun with it.

haha, great job;)
it would be cool if you continue it btw:)

Maby you could improve it by making the plant grow taller and more sprouts could come out with speakers on the end. Then the user could click on a speaker and each speaker would play a different tune.

:mu: :mu:

using the microphone is one way...

only problem is the echo.

Is there a way to use activityLevel on a sound object that was externaly loaded as opposed to using it with the microphone?

Almost all 'equalizers' that you see on the internet are randomly animated and have nothing to do with the actual levels. I don't know of a way to monitor sound levels with AS. :-/

I know...it sucks. Im checkin around right now because with some of the stuff im working on could really benifit from it. (websites for bands, etc..)

If i come accross anything i'll let you guys know. :)

[lorren.biffin]

Hmmm...This seems like it could be an ok way to do it.

Although it doesnt react directly with the sound it seems that it would be an easier way to go about things. The only problem is the $180 program you would have to download to accomplish the effect. :sleep:

Neat, that will be a welcome addition. When is Flash 9 slated for release?

[theflash]

That is some cool animation, that growin plant reminds me of tokyoplastic plant monster

You can export sound info from AfterEffects that you can read into Flash - but not dynamically.
