Microphone.silenceLevel
Availability
Flash Player 6.
Usage
active_mic.silenceLevel:Number
Description
Read-only property; an integer that specifies the amount of sound required to activate the
microphone and invoke
Microphone.onActivity(true). The default value is 10.
Example
The following example changes the silence level based on the user’s input in a NumericStepper
instance called
silenceLevel_nstep. The ProgressBar instance called silenceLevel_pb
modifies its appearance depending on whether the audio stream is considered silent. Otherwise, it
displays the activity level of the audio stream.
var silenceLevel_pb:mx.controls.ProgressBar;
var silenceLevel_nstep:mx.controls.NumericStepper;
this.createEmptyMovieClip("sound_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var active_mic:Microphone = Microphone.get();
sound_mc.attachAudio(active_mic);
silenceLevel_pb.label = "Activity level: %3";
silenceLevel_pb.mode = "manual";
silenceLevel_nstep.minimum = 0;
silenceLevel_nstep.maximum = 100;
silenceLevel_nstep.value = active_mic.silenceLevel;
var nstepListener:Object = new Object();
nstepListener.change = function(evt:Object) {
active_mic.setSilenceLevel(evt.target.value, active_mic.silenceTimeOut);
};
silenceLevel_nstep.addEventListener("change", nstepListener);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
silenceLevel_pb.setProgress(active_mic.activityLevel, 100);
};
active_mic.onActivity = function(active:Boolean) {
if (active) {
silenceLevel_pb.indeterminate = false;
silenceLevel_pb.setStyle("themeColor", "haloGreen");
silenceLevel_pb.label = "Activity level: %3";
} else {
silenceLevel_pb.indeterminate = true;
silenceLevel_pb.setStyle("themeColor", "0xFF0000");
silenceLevel_pb.label = "Activity level: (inactive)";
}
};
