I was thinking of doing exactly that, I know it'd be cool to use in my own code if nothing else. 5 KB for practically unlimited sound effects? Yes please!

I'm also going to look into the idea of packaging up the sound as a swf, loading it back in using loadBytes and letting you instantiate it as a Sound object, without any fancy FP10 sound stuff.

Now that the port is finished, I can get on to properly extending it with these kind of features

I've seen that making a swf thing done before but I'd suggest just concentrate on the fp10 stuff. If anything it'll be motive to switch. (and pixel bender could be used for sound effect filters too, like "underwater" or other effects that could be useful).

Flash would be awesome with a rich sound manipulation API on top of it's low level stuff.

Oh don't worry, I'm all over the FP10! How do you think I'm previewing the sounds in the app?

Agreed. Sound in Flash is still pretty minimal. The new sound API is a huge step forward, and as you say, you can use pb for intense audio processing tasks, but there's a lot that cold make it more usable for everyone.

Dear god its a public conversation between glaiel and tom >__< and the reg lounge is going to the bottom of page 2 so i might have to change the topic, sorry you two :(

Before i continue, im just curious. Hey tom, how come Dim never posts around? Is he done from the flash scene or just doesn't care? (i haven't browsed your website in a while so im a little out of the loop :P)
Inspiration: Not your typical "I have none" question but rather, what inspired you to get involved with flash? most likely years ago, cept for zyphonee probably :P

I'm just curious as to how everyone originally saw flash movies, and what movies factored in the decision to post on the forums saying "hey how do i do this?"

Personally, when i first found NG, it wasn't like "oh baby! i want to do this" but more or less "Haha these stick fights are sweet, i gotta find more!" I even found lots of homestar stuff during this time but wasn't really like "Hahaaaa! I wanna make that!"

I think there was 2 big things though, one was actually Superflashbro's decline of videogame series, which i think i found out about the program flash at school around the same time, another was the work of legendary frog, which had the same impact of inspiration that decline gave me, and since it was all tweens, once i learned tweens it was basically "Hey yeah! I can make something like this"

(Actually, if you look at the art style for KingdomHeartsChronicles, you can tell that i pretty much memorized SFB's tutorials in the making of those, thanks again for the tutorials you two)

Yikes this turned into storytime didn't it :P Ok, who's next?

i actually got flash because i wanted to make movies, but then instantly gravitated to action script. the reason i got it in the first place: Dan Paladin

Im PRETTY sure I got into Flash through Dave Firth. My friends and I always visited fatpie for burnt face man, and I guess I kind of discovered Newgrounds through that.

I was always into animation and drawing as a kid, my mum and grandfather are/were both artists and I was always encouraged to be creative, I spent a lot of time making shitty animated gifs in Photoshop/Imageready. I remember my Dad got me a copy of Flash when I was about 12. It scared the shit out of me and I hid from it for a few years, then picked it up when I must have been about 15. Kinda wish Id stuck with it when I was 12, id probably be a lot better now :)

Finally finished my calender entry, check it!. Fuckin hope I get in so much, put way too much time into that!

Aren't there some details missing on the track below the tank at the front though?

I got into Flash cause of Gabe, and his Mantyca County :)

^^ That's my little sound effect (That sort of swoosh sound when your retro spaceship takes off).

And yes, mutate and randomise on the fly would be really cool.

ah shit, I totally intended on putting Bitey leaping from a tree, cheers for reminding me!
Cheers guys :)

I think I got into Flash after watching the Decline series. You can take that to mean either "That looks awesome" or "I could do that" :p

You can also copy/paste settings as a string of numbers, so maybe you could share some cool effects here. Here's one I made earlier (either right-click > paste or ctrl-v)

Awesome! That could be the most useful Flash app since Denvish's API generator.

Sorry for the double post, but it really is awesome. You can find some real gems just by spamming the randomise button.

It's great. Do you mind me using the sounds in the 8-bit segment I'm about to stick in my new game?

Congrats john! BTW i had an orientation leader who looks just like u in uni. Pic attached!

Helicopter going off in the 16 bit distance:

Got into flash through playing games for years. Me and a friend used to play some online and I loved them. Designed like a tonne of levels on a game called Speedy Eggbert and that really got me a passion for making games.
Started editing games such as Rome: Total War at the same time I started getting interested in web design. Found a copy of Flash MX 2001 on a disk and started animating. Also found a copy of flash in school and me and my friends everyday at lunch would start scripting and animating.

First Flash
Found a disk with all my first flashes on the other day. Was nostalgic mad. has anybody else got there first flashes around?
Post em up if you have. This should be funny.

HAPPY MARRIAGE

Marriage?
People still do that?

You know you've got a problem with procrastination...

You commit an evening to finishing final boss sprites but instead spend it making tastless 9/11 parodies in a rendition of Conway's Game of Life...

it's amazing how fun the simple things can be sometimes... GO, gliders, GO!

john Conway is my hero, it's amazing how math and gameplay can be tied together so easily

I've recently become obsessed with cellular automata. I've made a wireworld sim, a cyclic automata, an averaging cells one (don't know the real name for that one), and rules 31, 90, and 184. The only big ones I haven't made is Conways Game of Life and Langton's ant.

I've actually got an ant somewhere...

EDIT - Here it is! As you can see I decided to go old skool. Considering adding some more ants...

but yeah i have a new project, thanks
