Viewr has it’s own page now at http://blog.lacymorrow.com/projects/viewr/. If you didn’t know, viewr is a flash slideshow viewer that collects photos from flickr.com It is customizable to browse tags, users, or photosets. The best part? It is entirely made of code, so it is less than 4kb.

XSPF 3.4

Another moderately big update. Many tiny bug fixes, and one big update: Time Display! The variable to insert the display is “timedisplay” and the possible values are 1, 2, 3, or 4 for the three different types. This adds an iTunes-esque timedisplay on the music label bar, beside volume. The outcomes of the values are as follows: 2 = a countup timer, from 0:00 until the song is finished. 3 = a countdown, until 0:00. 4 displays the total time in the song/video (yes it works for video too). 1 will be the most used value, it creates a button that can be clicked to switch between the three display types. Just add “timedisplay=1″ to your url to see exactly what I mean. Or just check my player at lacymorrow.com/jukebox/

XSPF 3.1

New XSPF update, very minor changes.
The auto-update was checking version with an onEnterFrame function for the entire time the player is running, taking up a little more cpu than necessary. Also, the info tags from the playlist have been getting overwritten by a link to my site (the default if there is no info tag) before being loaded.

It seems I included the wrong links, and then updated them with different wrong links to the jukebox player. Here is the correct download, as well as on the sidebar.

New Things

As you can see, the blog layout has changed quite a bit, but that is not all. I have completed the move to a new webhost, for some odd reason, freeservers just couldn’t cut it. 50 megs was not enough to hold very many flash projects, let alone my website and blog. Also, the lack of PHP support was kind of a let down. But things are better now, I am running WordPress 2.03, and as I become more comfortable with it, the look and feel will change and settle down a bit. My website is complete, I am running through the final testing and updating the outdated.

Jukebox Files

Finally posting my very first full-on flash app, my mp3 Jukebox.

This was created just six months after learning flash, about three years ago. Since then I have dropped the project and have begun editing the XSPF player. The only documentation I have is my notes of what needed to be done, and what I had already finished. I’ll tell you, its rough trying to
understand what I was doing, but this should help some begginers.

The player is actually amazingly detailed. Everything is customizable, right down to each individual button colorand volume fading. There are actually pieces of this player I am in the process of putting into the XSPF. It supports id3 tags as well, although I never saw a point in using them.
To help someone trying to work through this out, the info.xml files is all-important. The playlist url is stored here. To embed the player just add “?infourl=info.xml” after the swf url.

The info file is not rearrangable, although renaming the tree or nodes will not hurt anything. The only fault tolerance this player has is for no urls. As I was editing one time, I seem to have broken the total time display, and never bothered to fix it. The popup player never did work either.

Do your worst, download it here: jukebox

Update: Fixed broken link.
