At the time him and Lee weren’t allowed to say anything more specific on the topic, regarding if this will be available in the Flash Player as well. Most of us kinda figured and Adobe didn’t disappoint. At Adobe Max it was made official. Flash Player 10.1 will support the open microphone.

What is Open Microphone??
‘Open microphone’ is the term used to refer to the ability to access the raw sounddata recorded from a microphone instance in the Flash Player. Untill now this was only possible if you bounced the soundstream off the server (using Flash Media Server/RED5).

What’s so special about this?
You’ll be able to draw the soundspectrum of the microphone, you’ll be able to record the data as a bytearray and save it as a MP4 files / WAV file / whatever file to the server, you’ll be able to analyze the sound for specific words an build a Flash-driven droid that only listens to your voice and help you take over the world. Anything you want. Sky’s the limit. Go nuts.

Sorry guys). In fact I’ve been postponing this so long, that right now it’s too late.

However: Thomas Joos, his crew at Boulevart and Barefoot created a Flash Lite application that blew everybody away. Having said that: They won an Adobe Max award at Max Milan about 10 minutes ago. (That makes me the first one to report this, right? ;) )

I think this is incredibly cool since Thomas just finished school a year ago. I think he’s done some amazing work in the 12 months that passed.
You deserve it, Thomas. Congratulations to you and Boulevart for achieving this!

But you should take a look at this: the guys at Boulevart created a great Flash Lite shooter for MAX Milan. Make sure to check it out and give it a shot! The winners will be announced at Adobe MAX in Milan. Prizes seem to be quite interesting: There’s a ticket for FITC Toronto waiting for a new owner ;)
