Flash Midi Piano Game

[Poncho5k]

Hi guys,
I'm semi new to as3 and writing code. This is my idea for a project but I really have no clue where to start. If anyone here has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm starting work on a midi piano game in flash. I have my midi keyboard hooked in through the USB. Now I've been told that there is some way to get flash to read any kind of input but im not sure on how. Basically all that will happen is that u hit a key on the piano and a box shows up of random color. Longer u hold a key bigger it gets. Each key will have different box assigned to it. I think I could handle everything but I'm stuck on the first step and that is getting flash to read the Piano key presses.

Thanks in advance!

Not sure if this is still kept up-to-date but check out http://osflash.org/flashmidi

Keep us updated on this as this is a very interesting idea you have. MIDI is a great interface and Flash is the perfect medium. I could imagine some really cool Guitar Hero-ish games being developed for Flash if a successful API was established.

Slightly off-topic: but there is actually a midi-piano guitar hero-ish game, it's called "Synthesia" http://www.synthesiagame.com/. It's not for flash though.

if you want to listen keydown on USB port
you must make known your piano dll

Over here you can find an AS3 open source midi to flash bridge
