Re: [Flashcoders] playing audio filetypes other than mp3?

2006-11-02 Thread Josh Santangelo
Yeah, I don't think I'm quite hardcore enough to write my own audio  
decoder. Plus this particular application could have a number of  
audio file formats thrown at it, so I don't think that's really a  
practical approach.


Unfortunately that's the most crucial part of this app, so if I can't  
figure a way to control an external plugin, I probably can't do it in  
Flex like I was hoping to. Sad!

You can use ByteArray in Flash 9 to load any kind of binary data.  
While

you could use this to create image-rendering plugins using BitmapData
(or even video-rendering, although I question performance),  
there's no
corresponding SoundData class, is there? So I think, at least as  
far

as sound goes, you're kind of stuck with MP3.

I'm wondering if anyone's managed to play filetypes other than  
MP3 in

Flash. Obviously you can't just load them up, but I'm envisioning
loading them into a hidden instance of the QuickTime plugin, and  
then

using JavaScript to bridge the two so that you can control the

playback

from Flash.

Anyone seen/done anything similar?

Hi Josh

Assuming that you can actually control the qt plugin itself using
Javascript, then you should be able to do everything you are asking by
simply using ExternalInterface or whatever the Flash 9 (AS3) equivalent is
to talk bidirectionally between Flash and JavaScript in the webpage. 

Sincerely
Mark R. Jonkman
