Flash…! Ohhhhh…!

Flash is finally working with MaxMSP, for all the good it is going to do. The Macs in the interaction lab have yet to have Flash Server installed on them and the demo version of MaxMSP is runs out today on everyones laptops. This means that nobody can come in over the weekend and work, nor work at home.

The good news is that there is now some interactivity between sounds processed by Max and Flash generated balls. After some tinkering with settings and inputs, someone can now control the generation of balls with their voice but not the size and the shapes do not play back their sounds.

After many hours of frustration the prototype now has less functionality than earlier in the day as there has been so much manipulation of code and overwriting of files that the perfect working alpha has been lost.

There were some screenshots taken while it was operational as well as some of a side-lined problem. The problem involved the on/off switches that were triggered to start recording. They would be triggered when the buffer was [banged] but then they would stay open when they needed to close as soon as the next buffer was [banged] open.
