Here’s a little sneak preview of a new extension that I’ve been working on:
Short Version
See SmartMouth in action in a matter of seconds…
Full Version (10 min.)
UPDATE (9/6/2010): I’ve added thumbnail previews of the mouth shapes to the SmartMouth extension.
UPDATE (10/22/2010):
Nearly all systems are go. We’ve completed the license docs, the payment system is ready, and SmartMouth is almost ready for release. We were hoping to have it ready for release the week of Adobe MAX, but we still need another week to complete testing, produce user documentation, and make some minor refinements. At this point, we’re hoping to have SmartMouth ready for release during the first week of November. If you’d like to be notified of this release, you can sign up for our newsletter.

Very nice. Can the mouths be mapped to the timeline “on the fly” then publish to a server? Would be pretty cool to read back voice mails with cartoons of your coworkers/boss.

Hi Mark, great question. The SmarthMouth Flash extension focuses on the Timeline, but will allow you to export XML that can then be read by ActionScript dynamically. I may release ActionScript and/or SWF products in the future that will be able to map mouths on the fly.
