[color=black][font=Arial]My question is this…[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]I’m looking for a tutorial - or information - on animating a movieclip(s) based on a sound stream…[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]Basically - something like a spectrum analyzer or a visualization effect for a media player…[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]It doesn’t have to be complex - as the basics are all i’m looking for so that I can expand upon that to fulfill my own agenda :)[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]Also - the sound is going to be dynamic, being that the user will specify a file to play, so this can’t be done with simple frame animation (unless I were to create ~16,000 different swf files… … . . Yea)[/font][/color]

[color=black][font=Arial]If anyone has any information - or can point me in the right direction, I would be most great full.

BTW I’m using Flash MX, not 2004. Haven’t upgraded yet.[/font][/color]
