[Flashcoders] Speaking text

2009-12-18 Thread Paul Andrews

Honestly, I would point them to sitepal.com made by oddcast and see if their TTS solution is what your client is looking for. --Original Message-- From: Paul Andrews Sender: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com To: Flash Coders List ReplyTo: Flash Coders List Subject: [Flashcoders]

We have started using Loquendo recently - we have a custom socket app that Flash sends messages to. We have tried a few Loquendo languages - they are better than the free / open-source stuff, but still stumble on some words. They could be expensive though ;) http://www.loquendo.com/en/

Long story short, it must be public or else the Flash player can not set it for you. In practice isn't not a big deal. It's just something that people who cares about keeping things tidy and neat worry about. I am not saying that it is a bad thing, but I don't think too much about it.

This may or may not be helpful, but I build my ActionScript 3 projects in Flex Builder in a similar way, spare I only create the raw graphic assets in flash and assemble them in the AS3. A contrived example would be a 3 state button would be made of 3 embedded assets, and I create the TextField in
