One of the cool features in AS3 is the ability to take snapshots of the sound wave as your sound is playing, allowing you to do crazy animations that match your sound.
So I decided to make a little experiment using it. Click on the preview below to see how it works (it will take you to a new page).
By the way, it was meant to be a frog, eventhough it looks nothing like a frog. ;p
The title of the song used is “Teluk Bayur”, which means “Bayur Bay” by an Indonesian singer “Rani” (Note: Rani is not the original singer of the song. I hope I won’t get sued for putting it up. After all it is kind of a promotion. ;p). The song tells a story about someone leaving his/her hometown to learn and acquire new knowledge for a better tomorrow, just like me. So I guess it is a dedication to everyone like me, and a reminder for me not to let my mom and dad down. ;p
The coolest looking sound spectrum experiment I have seen is the one done by Andre Michelle, which is also the one that inspires me to write this one.

Jumping from Flash to Flex for the first time can be quite confusing.
A big part of it is the structure difference between Flash and Flex, as such, even stuff like using FlashVars that Flash Developer use on a daily basis can be quite a challenge when using Flex.
Here, I am going to share a very basic code of how to use FlashVars in Flex.
I hope somebody will find it useful.
