Proud to be Part of the 15th Fastest Growing Company in North America

Exciting times over here at Articulate: 

"Articulate has been ranked the 15th fastest growing company in North America on Deloitte's 2006 Technology Fast 500 Rising Star list. A special category, the Rising Star list ranks the top 25 companies based on percentage revenue growth over three years (2003 to 2005). Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 is a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in North America. "

No signs of slowing down yet... next year should actually be another huge growth year with the recent release of Engage and a bunch of new products in the wings.

Hi Jesse

Congrats on the continued success of your company ...

I'm curious ... are you the same person who wrote the Flash MP3 Encoder C++ class that is used in various open source programs ...?

If you are, I was wondering if I could pick your brain a little about it ...?

It's used in this software:

Currently the SWF files is generates are huge as it uses ADPCM as the only audio compression method and I was wondering if it was possible for your class to use MP3 as the audio compression method to reduce the end filesizes ...

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts ...

Thanks

Nick :)

Yes I am :). That was the project that put me in the Flash ballgame and is how I eventually hooked up with Articulate.

You can use that class to read MP3 files, assuming they are in a format that Flash supports (standard non-VBR, 5,11,22 or 44 khz). This code is actually used by Articulate Presenter for this very purpose. I recommend using something like LAME to handle the actual MP3 conversion then use the class to import the MP3. Feel free to adapt the source for whatever purposes you have and integrate with your own stuff.
