I think he means getting some program to read out the text, and save that as an mp3 file. I personally have no idea. The hard part of that is definitely the server-side conversion from text to mp3. I don't think you'll find many people on this list who know how to do that though, because it's not

That wasn't actually a beta. It was more like an 'alpha', basically just Flash 8 + AS3. I have a feeling (hope?) that CS3 is going to be quite different. On 3/27/07, Alias™ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The flash 9 beta has been available on adobe labs for quite some time now. http://labs.adobe.co

Hi Wendy, It sounds like you're asking a bunch of questions, without realising it. I would break the problem down something like this: 1. Create a video (non-flash) 2. Convert video to flv (non-code) 3. Upload video to web server (non-flash, maybe non-code) 4. Create xml to describe which videos

We're building an application that loads one swf into another. Both swfs use the same version of a class, let's call it com.as.MyClass. We've established what the error is, an attempt by the child swf to register its version of com.as.MyClass in the ApplicationDomain. Flash doesn't like that, so
