I would like something that will produce an arrray of amplitudes like Marmelade’s FlashAmp to be used for synching flash movies with sound files. I can’t find a trial that does anything useful and I can’t find a cheaper way to get it. I would like to experiment with this and use it but I don’t have $30 to pay for a program that just produces numbers from sound. it seems fairly simple. are there any other programs out there that do the same thing. on a similar note there is a program called ‘screen time’ for flash that makes screen savers out of flash files. but it costs $200 which is ridiculous if you ask me as that is the programs only capability. is there any other way to do this? thanks ---

Flash Jester also has an associate app that is called ScreenWeaver, I think… I think Wildform has something like it as well… both should be a lot less than $200… Rev ![](http://www.aulman.com/rev.gif) ---

yes you do … and i got it running on my local server but it won’t convert the mp3’s for me … it says it can’t play them … and i checked the sample rate on them and it’s fine … so i’m not sure how to make this program work ☹ ---
