The AmplitudePro Xtra allows Macromedia Director movies to respond in real time to spectrum and amplitude data derived from sound cast members. The xtra sends a continuous stream of values to Director while a sound is playing.

The AmplitudePro xtra:
works with internal sound cast members (including SWA and MP3)
works with externally linked WAVE, AIFF, SWA and MP3 files
works with Director 8, 8.5 and MX
is cross-platform (Windows, MacOS 8/9, MacOS X)
is safe for use with Shockwave
works with streaming Shockwave audio.

Here are some key features of "AmplitudePro Xtra":
create visualizations of sound cast members using normal Director sprites or imaging Lingo
synchronize animations to frequency values
create graphical EQ displays
respond to frequency values either graphically or interactively, as a sound is playing
synchronize sprite animations and properties to sounds in Director
draw sound waveforms using normal Director sprites in real time at any resolution
achieve lip-sync between animated characters and spoken dialogue
change inks and blend properties in time with sound and music
create sound visualizations based on amplitude intensity using Imaging Lingo or Shockwave 3D.

What's New:
compatibility with Director MX2004, including support for JavaScript syntax and cross-platform publishing of Projectors.

Requirements:
Macromedia Director 8 - MX2004.
