      Speakers:

      Chuck Freedman of Ribbit.com

      Meeting Minutes:

      Chuck talked about his microphone app for Flash which uses a C application and merapi (application by Adam Flater of Roundarch) which is a bridge between C and AIR, to talk to Flash.

      The problem in Flash currently is that stereo microphone input is not supported natively, and that there's really not much you can do with the audio feed other than check activity levels.

      Chuck showed us a way to use a C application to analyse data from a stereo microphone attached to his laptop, and change values in a Flash application accordingly.

      There's some other fantastic stuff out there utilising microphone input, in particular everyone loved the microphone leaves SWF by Bartek Drozdz on EverdayFlash.co. Plug in your mic and try:

      Thanks Chuck!

        • The presentation by Charles Freemanof Ribbit was fascinating, voice-driven autumn leaves and bouncing balls - awesome!

          The real payback for me though was hearing about what developer.ribbit.com has to offer. I really want to get into that web/phone integration.

          Thanks Charles, and thanks John and Alun for organisuing the evening.
