AS3 Papervision + Sound Visualizer + Line3D + Tweener - Part 2 FF07
So here’s my Flash Forward inspired piece!
Once again used Andy’s great Line3D class and gave it a Flash Forward 07 twist.

I didn’t do anything with the amplitude but I left it in there if you decide you want to play with it. It’s somewhat processor intensive. I wish external mp3’s would loop. You’d think Adobe would have addressed that by now. Because of that, you’d want to attach it from your library, but I think it’s ok for testing. Helps you find a good loop that gives you good results when playing with a visualizer. Just overwrite the mp3 file or switch the path.
Once again the loop I’m using:
The music is the song “Mélange Eléctrique” from Jens Buchert’s album Spa Lounge. Great downtempo album.
