TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES: Students will grab audio using a microphone and monitor audio levels in Director

Useful Lingo operator: Mod (really means the remainder after a division operation:

Example:
This statement divides 7 by 4 and then displays the remainder in the Message window: put 7 mod 4
The result is 3.

Before completing classwork:

1) Add GetSoundIn xtra to XTRAS folder near Director application.

2) Open your sound control panel and choose a source for sound input. Choose External Mic or CD, depending on which source you are using.

In class assignment:

1) Add a line of code to the "on Update" handler that moves a vertical line up the y-axis when audio levels increase, and moves the line down when audio levels decrease.

2) Add a conditional statement to the "on exitframe" handler in frame one in the score that plays a sound when audio levels are higher than "200."

3) Make a new marker above frame 5, and write a new frame behavior script (you can copy the old one to start with). Place a large bitmap on stage. Create a situation where an increase in the sound level will actually increase the blend of the bitmap.
