Hi all,
I’ve been asked (as someone who can do code to a degree) to very quickly build something which can work with multiple video clips, all independently controlled by code. Flash was my first thought, but I’ve never really done anything with it (though have been googling quite a bit, and have managed a quick basic tutorial or two)
The concept is, basically, mutliple video clips (stop motion animations), which can be started and stopped independently of each other. Some will need to be background, several running over the top (handling transparent backgrounds on the foreground animations via some kind of chroma-key would be a bonus ). The foreground ones will ideally be moved around on a path via code too.
So, my q’s are:
a) would Flash be a good tool for doing this?
b) would someone totally new to flash be able to put this sort of thing together in about 24 hrs of dev work? I’d like to think i’m pretty good at picking up new things quickly…
The ultimate ideal is to have the stop/start/movements triggered by a microphone and frequency filters - i’ve looked into code examples of realtime spectrum analysers using the computeSpectrum method, and it looks feasible from that front…
Any help/guidance/pointers to relevant tutorials would be very welcome 
Ta,
Rich
