So im planning to post some music to youtube that i have made or showcase some underrated music.
In order to make everything seem lively I want to add a visualizer.
So i have searched tutorials to do so on flash. And i cant seem to understand too well.
I have 2 options to go from here and i am asking anyone out there if they can help me.

1. Help Me with the flash code!
Remember i am a beginner to actionscript so something copy and pasteable would be nice :)

Here is the code i cannot understand. Im trying to do the last visualiser.
As a side note if someone can, may they change the code to colour it to
#57E365
A light green colour.

2. Tell me about a visualiser program on Mac that isnt After Effects. My laptop cant handle AE

Thank you for your time!
Xenon-

Here is the final Product. I used the help from a couple coders at Kirupa forum for actionscript. !

since you know nothing about actionscript, maybe you shouldn't even consider it for something like this? why are you trying to solve a problem using tools you don't even know how to use?

I googled "mac music visualizer" and the top result was a collection of 10 free plugins for iTunes. I didn't click it but I'm sure at least 9 of them aren't After Effects, have you tried any of them or even looked for alternative programs?

I do know how to apply actionscript and code snippets. It is quite simple. I can make a simple menu but then again. Who can't.
I see what you mean as i dont have any knowledge in this and that why i asked for help.
I have searched for programs to create a visualiser but none of them are "customisable"
i want to be able to add my own logo, animate on top of the visualizer.
Thats why i searched Flash tutorials.

EDIT:
Found a Code. It isnt workig because im unsure of how to make it find my music instead of the original scripters.

I changed the name of my music to fit the original but it still doesnt work.
Anyone help me with this situation?

I would just download a visualizer, play a song, record a video of it with a screen recording program, and add a logo/animation over it using the Apple equivalent to Windows Movie Maker or something like that. There's a ton of free software for everything you're trying to do, trying to do it all through Flash would take way more effort for everyone.

You're missing a 'v' at the start of your code.



Also what Exilement said, but if adding a 'v' is all that's needed to get what you need then this might be the easiest way.

Almost there. Now im missing a right parentheses.

Exilement. I could do as you had said BUT
1. Imovie is incapable of adding Logo's on a video
2. The Itunes Visualizers i found just are too flashy. I want something Basic
If i had after effects this would be easy as pi
too bad i have a macbook from 06

The only thing I can see which might be causing a problem is the spaces in "mix 3 v1". Try "mix_3_v1" instead. Otherwise I'm not sure.
