The Html (low bandwidth) version of my website is completed, save for the contact form. I tried to give the same look and feel without using any necessary javascript, or too many extras. I have tried to create my site so that it will work seamlessly on any OS with any browser. The blog problems are slowly being fixed.http://www.lacymorrow.com/html
There are two problems I am working to fix with the xspf players. The first is the external loading method, apperantly users are experiancing problems in IE (not suprising), and IE does not allow the used external loading method for variables. The only fix to this is to not load using an external file. Add variables in your html to the end of your player source. ex: “http://www.yourdomain/xspf.swf?autoload=1&playlist_url=playlist.xml” etc. The other problem is in the use of id3 tags in the mini player, they do not always work in IE. Both problems are being fixed.
I have been getting some emails from people finding “suspicious Mochibot code” in my flash files. Mochibot code is non-invasive and is used JUST as a tracker for my flash projects, it shows me where and how many times my videos have been played. I would apreciate it if developers would leave the code standing, but if needed, I have no problem with any removal of it.
A new page has just been posted on this site at http://blog.lacymorrow.com/projects/.
The projects page will hold all of my, *ahem*, innovations for download, reference, etc.
Check it out.
I have uploaded my dynamic image script, for use with blogs or websites. Ever get tired of having to use system fonts for all of your webpages? Then Don’t! This script takes your desired text, size, and any “.ttf” font and creates an image so that the end user does not have to see Times. Download here.
Flashpress, my made-from-scratch blog editor, is in it’s 0.2 beta version. With tweaks and bug fixes, it is becoming more and more stable. It has the potential for a lot of uses, the source could be adapted into such things as a spell check, a word processor, a person-to-person chat, or an all out HTML editor. It now supports basic images, along with mild bug fixes to solve formatting problems.Test/Use/Download
The new version of the slim player is up and about, with the same external variables ability as it’s big brother. The new big thing here though is another innovation from my blossoming flash years and my jukebox, id3 tag support. id3 tags were not usable in the extended version because of the displaying of all artists and titles in the playlist. However, with id3 tags, no artist or title is needed. Information is stored is 98% of alll mp3’s, including artist and song titles. The tags show automatically when there is no titles present, or use the variable “&useId3=1″ to have them always show. As well as that, there have been the usual visual updates, and more updates to the loading script to timeout after five seconds.This is also the release of the Extended 4.1 version with a few bug fixes.Get ‘em.
This is my first flash component, and i think i pulled it off rather well. This is a wrapper for an itunes library or playlist file, to be used in any flash project involving the file (god knows how many I have), such as music players or data organizers. To use, just install, insert into your timeline, and use the function “loadXML(url);” to load and parse the file. Data is output into the “ItunesArray” array, and contains everything that could possibly be needed for use: TrackId/Name/Artist/Composer/Album/Genre/Kind/Size/Time/DiscNumber/Dis cCount/TrackNumber/TrackCount/Year/DateModified/DateAdded/BitRate/Samp leRate/Comments/PlayCount/PlayDate/Compilation/TrackType/Location.
PS - The iTunes XML can be a relatively large file, so parsing could take longer than expected. Be Patient
i’ve officially hit 16, but along with that, the new version of the xspf player has been released. the biggest change? the ability to keep all of your variables in one small file. i’ve included a sample file, just use the tag “loadurl=” and load your variables.txt to a server (any file name will work) and viola! instead of paragraph long lines of variables, one short line. just make sure to include the line “&loaded=1″ as the last variable. i’ve also added the ability to change the loaded message, and updated the display. the theme has a little more depth than just gray, but it is just being tested right now. the descision to keep or trash it will be based on the feedback i get. a little while from now, the same changes will be made to the slim player. also, a request box will be added to my project pages for wanted features sometime in the future. enjoy.
i have added a music stream to the xspf player that plays whatever is in my itunes, chosen at random. i have a wide range of genres in ove 5500 songs, so it will be unlikely that you will hear the same song twice. check it out within a few days. on the xspf page.
