flash (macromedia): Hi, I want to develop an interactive learning CD and really would like to use
Flash for this. I know that director is especially written for this kind of
thing, but is there any reason not to use Flash?
Am I right in thinking you cant use a Microphone to record temp sound files to
play back in Flash with flash (but can with director)..
Also, can flash run from an exe with the flash player built in, rather like
shockwave does for director?

thanks

I use Flash for exactly this purpose

Flash can dynamically play mp3 files so if you saved a file to a location and
a name that your piece recognises it could play it back

Yes, create a projector file (an exe) and then it will run on a cd myabe use
an autorun (inf) file

Hello Paul,
thanks for your reply. Good to know that you use flash for the same purpose.
Regarding the mic issue wasnt sure about your answer. , what I need to do is
get the user to record a short phrase in Flash and then have the option to hear
it plyed back. Is that possible?

thanks

Mike

To tell the god's honest - I have no idea, Im not sure that Flash can record live but Im always ready to be proved wrong

sorry

no prob.
by the way, what you wrote about playing mp3 from a location. does that mean you can play an mp3 that is on the hard drive and not in the library? How do u do that?

cheers

//create sound object
mySound = new Sound();
//associate external mp3 with the sound object
mySound.loadSound("ff.mp3");
//button instance called myBut
myBut.onRelease = function() {
mySound.start();
};
