Flash, Midi and Red5

Although I’ve had some real fun using the velleman k8055 to control flash with sensors, it only supports 2 analog inputs.
So I started looking for alternatives and was pointed towards the MidiSense page. It’s a small and affordable circuit that has 6 analog inputs and sends the data as Midi.
Midi huh, so how are we gonna get that into Flash? Well, I saw this wonderful post on John Grden’s blog.
So I hooked up my flash-file to Red5, converted John’s code (just a few lines) to AS2 (I’m still teaching my students AS2) and…
‘Hurray’ 6 analog sensors were available to flash…

In John’s Words… ROCK ON \m/
