Re: [Flashcoders] One Video, multiple Audio tracks?
Not sure if it'll help, but they're doing something similar in this player -- using a second audio track for audio descriptions. I'm guessing it's using Gerry's suggestion above: additional audio files synced with the main movie. Was thinking it might be useful to see how they've got 2 audio tracks working and repurpose their code to produce the result you're looking for. http://wac.osu.edu/examples/jwplayercontrols/ Jer On Fri, May 7, 2010 at 12:02 AM, Henrik Andersson he...@henke37.cjb.netwrote: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-3551 ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] One Video, multiple Audio tracks?
Thats definitely a possibility. It seems like keeping the audio and video synched would be tricky, but its worth a try. thanks, Matt On Thu, May 6, 2010 at 7:54 PM, Gerry Beauregard gerry.beaureg...@sonoport.com wrote: Hi Matt, You could probably put the 8 other languages into mp3 files, which you can play back using the Sound class.
