Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX Enhancements Audio synchronization with video has been significantly improved for live streams with Macromedia Flash Communication Server. The video images should also display more smoothly in live mode.
The management of audio delay (latency) for live streams is significantly improved. Users should hear fewer gaps in live audio and in most cases the audio delay should be much lower. Note that for good audio performance, it is very important that the microphone and gain level are configured properly so the player can detect silence intervals.
There is a new property, liveDelay, available on the NetStream object when in live mode. This property gives an approximation of how much delay is in the audio stream as a result of varying network delays. The property is read only and is represented in seconds.
Synchronization of audio, video and data messages during playback in a buffered stream is much more precise. Also, the stream time property will now increase smoothly, whereas it used to increase in steps as the messages arrived at the player. ? Time Zone Fix Fixed invalid daylight savings time offset in the southern hemisphere. ? Nested Masks with Device Text Fixed rendering bug with device text and nested masks. This issue was only present on Windows XP. ? Screen Reader Crash The Windows Tablet PC Operating System ships with the Screen Reader ?Speak Text? on by default. This system along with others that rely on a screen reader were experiencing a crash on certain web sites. This issue has been resolved. Update now
