Re: MIDI and Flash

[Audiohost]

Hi Michael:


the problem with your approach is that you have to limit your audience to a

specific MIDI plug-in, because you can script for only one specific plug-in at

a time. Scriptable MIDI plug-ins are Beatnik (http://www.headspace.com) and

Crescendo (http://www.liveupdate.com). You would have to provide two versions

of your page for each of them, and probably a third for people who run

something else.


It doesn't seem a very good idea to me to try to sync MIDI and Flash, because

your Flash movie will perform differently on different client configurations

anyway. So, the most you could achieve is a synchronized start. I would

recommend that you organize the loading sequence so that the MIDI file loads

before the movie. Then you can use the playing MIDI music as a background for

download waiting time of the Flash...


Greetings,
