Show audio waveform in flash movie

I'm trying to create a WAV audio player for a website which will display the audio waveform like this site does: http://soundcloud.com/dreamerlines/dreamer-lines-feat-moana-mix-tape-2-of-15-preview-1#new -timed-comment-at-99741
Is there a way to do this? I've spent hours searching the internet with no luck.
Any help is appreciated !

From my understanding computeSpectrum() only allows an application to read the waveform that is currently being played. It doesn't read in the whole song's waveform before playing.
If this isn't correct, any eamples you have would be great.
Thanks

  • Showing audio waveforms in Timeline?

    I am trying to access show audio waveforms in the timeline, so I can edit to music. I am checking the option in the user preferences, but it is not showing up on my audio. Am I missing something?

    Or click the right pointing arrow (marked red) and choose Show Waveforms from the popup menu.

  • Disabled "Show Audio Waveforms"

    Hello out there!
    Recently I tried to turn on "Show Audio Waveforms" in the view section and it will not turn on. I have tried several different projects, turned the computer off and on, and tried checking and unchecking the SAW function with no results.
    It appears to be permanently disabled. Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Is the "Show Audio Waveforms" grayed out, or is it not grayed out but just ineffectual?
    I have found that some iTunes songs don't display waveforms when the option is selected. So you should check to see if the function works with other songs.
    Basically, when iMovie acts strangely, it often is helpful to try two basic maintenance procedures that are very easy to do:
    1. Close iMovie and trash the file called com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. iMovie will create a new .plist file on relaunch.
    2. Before relaunching iMovie, do a permissions repair using the Disk Utility app on your Mac. It is found in MacHD/Applications/Utilities. Open Disk Utility, select your MacHD icon in the left pane, and click the Repair Permissions button near the bottom of the Disk Utility window. Then wait 3-4 minutes while permissions are being repaired.
    When the above is done, relaunch iMovie and see if the wave forms will show.
    Also, make sure that you have sufficient disk space for iMovie to function -- 25GB is oft recommended here. Updating Quicktime to current version (7.5.5, I believe) followed by a permissions repair might help as well. But do items 1 and 2 first to see if that cures the problem.

  • Playing streamed MP4 audio in a Flash movie

    Is anyone aware of an xtra/extension for Flash that would
    enable a flash movie to play files save in the mpeg-4 audio (mpa4,
    mp4) format? I'm looking at flash-based podcast players, and one I
    found said that it can't play podcasts published in mp4 format
    because flash player 8 doesn't support it.
    I thought though that maybe there would be a 3rd party
    xtension or something that would enable it to play those
    podcasts.

    Flash does not have any extension or plugins, never had.

  • Streaming live audio in a flash movie

    Hi, I'm working on a website for a local radio station, and I
    want to be able to stream a live audio feed of the radio station to
    a flash movie. Right now all I really know is that the URL to get
    this live feed is
    http://kpacradio.pacific.edu:8000
    - if you put that into Windows Media Player it will start the radio
    broadcast. Is it possible to play this through flash so that the
    user can just stream it from a website rather than having to
    introduce windows media player into it? Thanks a lot.
    David

    No. The Flashplayer can't connect to a windows media
    serverYou'd need to capture the stream and republish to FMS, or
    broadcast directly to FMS instead of WMS.

  • Show audio waveform in captivate

    This isn't specifically a Captivate question, but I am sure there is someone out in the community that has thought of this.
    I am putting together a series of captivates that teach elementary and middle school age kids a variety of topics.  As part of the instruction I want to add audio and video in the form of a talking computer voice or talking audio waveform.  Is there anyone that is aware of any software (preferably free) that would allow me to create a flash video of an audio waveform?
    Scott

    From my understanding computeSpectrum() only allows an application to read the waveform that is currently being played. It doesn't read in the whole song's waveform before playing.

  • Showing HTML behind a flash movie

    Hi,
    I have a div layer containing a flash file which sits on top of some HTML. When the flash file is clicked, an animation is played. After this animation i want the flash file to disapear and the HTML behind the flash file to become clickable.
    The flash is an animation of a door opening, to reveal the HTML below it.
    I can make a flash file with a transparent background but the HTML below the flash layer is unclickable.
    Any ideas how i can make this clickable without refreshing the page? I have attached an example of my situation.
    Thanks,
    Tony

    >> P.S. Someone mentioned the "SWFObject method" but I
    was curious if there
    >> was
    another way to do this. Remember the main concern here is
    that search
    engines
    can pick up the text.
    That's the way to go if you want search engines to spider a
    Flash site.
    SWFObject writes the Flash content to a <DIV> on your
    page. Inside that div
    element, you place your HTML page... you can do dynamic stuff
    with PHP,
    whatever. If your user doesn't have Flash, or if a spider
    hits the page,
    they will see the HTML content within the div. If they do
    have Flash, then
    SWFObject overwrites the div with the Flash, and your user
    sees the Flash.
    Works a treat...
    If you want an example: www.arandell.com
    Turn off JavaScript and refresh, and you'll see the HTML
    version. Google
    spiders this site perfectly.

  • Can one cut and paste an audio clip within a movie to use in another place?

    can one copy and paste an audio clip within a movie to use in another place?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

    If you are wanting to use the audio from clip A into clip B then try......
    First check that Advanced tools are enabled: iMovie>Preferences>General>Show Advanced Tools.
    Drag clip A from the Event UPON clip B in the Project. When you release the mouse you will get a pop up menue.
    Select Audio Only. Note the other options for another day!!!!
    You will get a green bar as Karsten mentions above ( move it , shorten it etc, etc.)
    Show Audio Waveform by selecting Blue Waveform Box ,bottom right of Project Window.
    You can adjust audio level from clip A and clip B to your requirements.You can set either to zero volume if you require.
    This may not be what you meant by "to use in another place "
    If you want just the audio to use outside of iMovie, try;
    With the required clip/clips only in the project> Share> Export Using Quicktime and in Export Select "Sound To AIFF. Save to desktop in the first instance so you can easily find it.

  • Audio Waveforms missing?

    I clicked on "View Audio Waveforms" under "View" as I'm editing my movie.
    I assumed that the waveforms would appear in the audio tracks. But as I started the clip, nothing at all appeared.
    Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/6.0/en/imv1133.html
    Note: Waveforms are faint when you're showing clip volume levels. To hide clip volume levels, deselect Show Clip Volume Levels in the View menu. (A selected item has a checkmark next to it; choose the item again to deselect it.)
    To see more detail in the waveform, it's a good idea to zoom in on the timeline viewer.

  • Force flash to open file download box in front of the flash movie

    Folks,
    I'm making a dvd title using flash to auto start when people
    pops the dvd disc in.
    I have a button 'Click here to download the movie' and
    clicking the button should pop up a file download box so people can
    save the movie file(.mov) to their desktop.
    Problem is that the file download box shows up behind the
    flash movie so people won't be able to see the download box since
    it's hidden behind the flash. This is critical since I intend the
    flash to open as a full-screen mode.
    Is there a way to force the flash to open the download box in
    front of the flash movie?
    I tried getURL and fscommand ("exec", "filename.exe") and
    even fileReference commands to try different way of linking the
    movie file, and they all open download box behind the flash.
    Please help~~~

    Please do not post the same topic in multiple forums. The
    only thing I can suggest is when they click on the button to
    download, you take flash out of full screen while they download the
    video, you can use fileReference to control and monitor the
    download. Use a listener object to monitor when download is
    complete, then set flash back to full screen.
    How are you scripting the full screen?

  • Audio Waveforms (On Certain Clips Only) Not Displaying

    Long time forum-lurker, first time poster.
    Here's the situation: The nighttime assistant editor created a sequence of B-roll clips for an editor. On both the editor's and the assistant editor's computer, the audio waveforms for these clips are not displaying correctly. Specifically, the symptoms (on both computers) are:
    - Waveforms do not appear in timeline unless zoomed in to maximum or second-to-maximum zoom. When zoomed out farther than that, the "X"es appear.
    - When viewing the clip in the viewer's audio tab, either by double-clicking the sequence clip or match-framing from the sequence, the waveforms do not appear at all until I zoom in to near maximum level. When zooming out after that, the remnants of the zoomed-in waveforms remain on the screen.
    - The waveforms of other clips display correctly.
    I have tried deleting the waveform cache on both computers, changing the location of the waveform cache and restarting, and deleting the preferences on the editor's computer. I have not tried recreating the sequence from the original clips because the daytime assistant editor has more sequences to create and needs to use her computer.
    If anyone can help me, that would be great.
    Here are the specs:
    Assistant Editor's Computer: eMac running Final Cut Pro 5.0.1 and Mac OS 10.4.something (I haven't gotten a chance to run software update).
    Editor's Computer: Dual Processor Power Mac G5 running Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 and Mac OS 10.4.8.
    Both computers are sharing the same media which is located on our SAN. The Editor's computer (along with two other G5-based editing systems) is connected via FibreChannel. The Assistant Editor's computer (along with a whole bunch of other computers) is connected through our server, which serves the SAN drives as network volumes. Assistant editors create sequences on the eMac and upload the project file to the server, where they are available for the editors to download.
    Power Mac G5 and eMac   Mac OS X (10.4)   SAN: Xserve RAID, CommandSoft FibreJet (not Xsan). Server: Xserve (Intel model)

    Don't know what's going on, but tell us the format of
    the audio.
    It's the audio track from a video clip. All video on this project is DV NTSC. The audio is 48.0 Khz, 16 bit, 2 mono channels.
    Also, try copying
    one audio clip to a local drive and see if the
    problem persists.
    Copied one of the offending clips onto the desktop. Dragged it into the project. Opened it in the viewer and hit the Audio tab. Whaddya know, the waveform appeared.
    I cut a chunk of it into the sequence that is full of clips whose waveforms don't work and turned on "show audio waveforms". Waited for a long time and I still just got the Xes unless I zoomed in really close to the new sequence clip.
    But then I cut a chunk of the newly copied clip into a brand new sequence, turned on audio waveforms in the timeline, and they showed up.
    I don't know if any of this will help to solve my problem, but hopefully it will give someone an idea. I've got an editor who says he's used to editing from waveforms and needs the ability to see them. (Unfortunately, copying media to local drives is not a viable workaround. The media must stay on the SAN.)

  • Flash movie in director heard but not seen... mostly not seen!

    Using flash i made a flash movie to use as an intro to my
    director project, I imported the flash movie into director and
    placed it on the stage. When i play the director file i can hear
    the audio from the flash movie but cannot see the flash movie,
    untill right near the end i have an image on a motion tween in the
    flash movie which i can see.
    Can anybody tell me why i cannot see the rest of the flash
    movie?

    Hi Ajrobson,
    I'm guessing you're using Flash 8 and haven't updated
    Director for Flash 8
    compatibility.
    Go to:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/director/downloads.html
    make sure you've downloaded and installed the 10.1 update.
    Then install the 10.1.1
    update. This will update your Flash support.

  • I accidentally hit some button that made the audio waveforms in the timeline dissappear.

    Even though I've selected "Show Audio Waveforms" in the toolbox, the waveforms do not appear.
    Is there some other setting to make them re-appear?
    Thank you,

    Hi Patrice,
    Did you accidentally minimize the audio tracks?
    Thanks,

  • Audio  waveform image in timeline

    Other than in the preferences, is there a shortcut for turning off the audio waveform in the timeline?

    Create a button that you can place in the timeline.
    or Press Option-Command-W.
    or Choose Show Audio Waveforms from the Track Layout pop-up menu in the Timeline.
