-Choose 4FX Effect - Application Mixer from the menu.

-This will bring up a Application Mixer pop-up window.

-From here select which application you want to stream audio from. For example you could use Skype to take calls online or itunes to stream audio. You may need to adjust the crossfade later on to balance the application and microphone audio.

-Choose 4FX Effect - Auxiliary Device Output from the menu.

-This will bring up a Auxiliary Device Output pop-up window.

It was announced today that there is a critical security vulnerability in Flash Player 9 that may allow attackers to gain access to transmit keystrokes from a user's machine. An article which details this vulnerability (as well as a couple of other vulnerabilities) can be found here:

Since Stickam uses flash heavly, it is reccomended you update your flash player to prevent exploitation of this vulnerability.

Please update your flash player to 9,0,47 (mac and win) or 9,0,48 for Linux by going here:

"1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4... noinch noinch noinch..." Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Kevin Smith) in Clerks.

Hope everyone (or maybe those who are USA stateside) had a fantastic Fourth of July! I know I'm still weening off the sunny buzz of a oh-so-nice holiday and am very excited for the weekend... especially since director/screenwriter KEVIN SMITH will be making a visit on Free FM's Film Freak Show tomorrow night @ 7pm-9pm PST!!!

Before there was Zach Braff and his Garden State, it was Smith who put New Jersey on the cinematic map, capturing the best of suburban mediocrity (malls, illegal narcotics, boredom, etc) while providing the most awesome of socio-political-theism critiques (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back are my personal favorites!). But enough of my film school rhetoric, get your butt to the Film Freak profile pronto!

Check it out this Saturday, July 7th @ 7:00 pm PST: http://www.stickam.com/profile/klsx_tv
