Question

From what I have read, using Speek over Nellymoser is advantageous, but I can’t figure out how to use it with a Flex 4 Microphone object.

For instance, the last code line:

private var oMicrophone:Microphone;    
oMicrophone = Microphone.getMicrophone ();
oMicrophone.codec = "Speex"
oMicrophone.encodeQuality (8)

Gives me this compile error:

Attempted access of inaccessible
method encodeQuality through a
reference with static type
flash.media:Microphone

I am not impressed with Adobe’s documentation on this.

Guess I either need to import something or include some extra module that doesn’t come with the Flex SDK – or…?

Answer 1

The encodeQuality is a property, not a method. To use it, just assign a value to it:

private var oMicrophone:Microphone;    
oMicrophone = Microphone.getMicrophone ();
oMicrophone.codec = SoundCodec.SPEEX //Use an enumerator class
oMicrophone.encodeQuality = 8;

That seems to take care of it.
