Hi,  
I’m trying to develop a game that will use sound to move an mc. I want to be able to store where the level of the sound bar is after 3 seconds. Depending on how loud the player shouts the more power they will get.

This is what I have so far:

// set up microphone object  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“myAudio”, 1001);  
\_root.myAudio.attachAudio(Microphone.get());  
\_root.myMic = Microphone.get();

// set up Interval to listen for microphone levels  
micInterval=setInterval(function() {  
// update mic level  
\_root.micLevel.bar.\_xscale=\_root.myMic.activityLevel;

Just not sure on where to go from here. I tried searching the forums, but I’m not sure what to look for. Thanks in advance for any help.
