Detecting the microphone in Flash using ActionScript 3.0

by Peter deHaan on December 4, 2008 · 7 Comments

The following example shows how you can request access to the user’s microphone using the static Microphone.getMicrophone() method and listening for the status event.

Full code after the jump.

// ActionScript 3.0
var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();
mic.setLoopBack();
mic.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, mic_status);
 
var tf:TextField = new TextField();
tf.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
tf.text = "Detecting microphone...";
addChild(tf);
 
function mic_status(evt:StatusEvent):void {
    tf.text = "Microphone is muted?: " + mic.muted;
    switch (evt.code) {
        case "Microphone.Unmuted":
            tf.appendText("\n" + "Microphone access was allowed.");
            break;
        case "Microphone.Muted":
            tf.appendText("\n" + "Microphone access was denied.");
            break;
    }
}

Hi,
We were looking for a way to capture the mic audio data and save it to mp3
Will this really need a flash communication server!??!

Please advise
Thanks
Tamer

I want to know microphone recording too.
Must we need FMS?
Why cant it be saved to somewhere upon finishing recording?

Hi there!

Isn’t it possible to store recorded data in byte array?

Greetings houdini

Hi all,
If your interested in saving the input to the file, your will need to store it in a byte array and then output the byte array data to a file of your choose with the right encoding of the file.
