Re: FLASH: Real- (Audio/Video) Flash

[Dave Hollinden]

RealFlash simultaneaously streams your SWF file in sync with a RealAudio

file.  There is no importing of RealAudio or video into Flash. What you do,

in general terms, is:


1) complete your  movie, including the audio, in Flash


2) export the Flash movie as an SWF file with audio disabled so that you

have a SWF version of your movie with no audio


3) export the Flash movie again as an AVI (Quicktime on a Mac), setting the

movie size to be very small since this export is only for the audio


4) start the RealEncoder, aim it at your AVI, select the encoder you want

to use for the bandwidth you have available for audio (probably 6.8Kb/s for

audio intended for 28K modem, leaving around 13Kb/s for the SWF file to

stream), disable the video portion of the output, and then encode the file.

 Now you have a RealAudio version of the movie with no video.


5) make a metafile that calls your SWF and your RealAudio file together.

The RealServer and RealFlash player keep them in sync.


BEWARE that interactivity has not been implemented in the RealFlash player

yet. So don't count on being able to have the viewer click buttons and such.
