increase sound volume in FM projector?

joe_dk · 11-15-2002, 11:05 AM

Here's a question which someone might be able to help me with.

We are using FM projector to show mpeg video in Flash. The mpeg files have both audio and video. The audio is normalised to 100% and sounds fine when played in windows media player. But when the video is played through FM Projector, it seems to drop in volume, and so the audio in the video is lower than the other sounds/ audio that is being used in Flash. Is there any way i can boost the sound or prevent it from dropping in volume when the video is played using FM projector. I have found a command 'fas.sound' in the help files, but am not a programmer, so i dont know how to use it.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

There are 2 ways to solve your problem:

1. Set video on top of the Flash layer will speed up the video performance.
Please use fscommand("fas.avclip.VideoOnTop","TRUE");

2. Resize your video to smaller rectangle if you still need flash layer overlap upon the video.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
The video is 'on top' . Actually the video and sound play perfectly, except the sound on the video is approx. 10% lower than when i play the file outside of flash.

What's the WMP version in your system.
Can you email your swf(fla) and video file to us for testing?
Pls mail to : support@flashants.com

When setting video on top, FMProjector will directly use wmp ActiveX to play video. So the playback performance should be the same as the standalone WMP player.

hi,
thanks for your reply.
i'm using wmp 7.1
Actually the flash project we're working on has over 80 swf files, at least 50 videos, and 200 sound files. Thanks for your offer of sending it to you for testing, but it really is too big at the moment for sending.
If i manage to put together a scaled down version that works, i'll send it on.

Thanks

You may also try
fscommand("fas.avclip.usewmp6","true");
to force using WMP6 instead of WMP7 in video-on-top mode.
