Microphone class 51

The MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in this example requires Flash Player

7 or later. If your SWF file includes a v2 component (version 2 of the Macromedia

Component Architecture), use the DepthManager class from the component framework

instead of the

MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.

Usage

public rate : Number [read-only]

Description

Property (read-only); the rate at which the microphone is capturing sound, in kHz. The

default value is 8 kHz if your sound capture device supports this value. Otherwise, the default

value is the next available capture level above 8 kHz that your sound capture device supports,

usually 11 kHz.

To set this value, use

Microphone.setRate().

Example

The following example saves the current rate to the variable original:

var active_mic:Microphone = Microphone.get();

var original:Number = active_mic.rate;
