Gallery 2.0

Posted on June 6, 2007
Categories: Flash, Projects.

This is the second edition of my dynamic Flash slideshow, Gallery. Not having been updated in a good five months, this version fills in the gaping holes in code missing from the last version. Many things have been tweaked and updated, the visuals and animations included. There are a couple off new transitions, and additions of easing tweens for 14 total transitions with subsets to give up to 101 possible effects. The control box is now working perfectly, along with keyboard control. Use the arrow keys and the spacebar to cycle through images, pause, and play. Add music, a watermark, and as many images as possible through an easily customizable XML interface. (the flash movie needs focus to enable keyboard control, this can be done through external scripts, or by the user clicking on the movie). Flickr support has now been added as well, fully customizable as to what pictures are shown, yet simple to implement. The documentation will be updated shortly.

Try it out.

Xspf Jukebox 5.6

A small Jukebox update to accompany my move to a new server, with a couple of bug fixes, and a couple of new features as well. The shuffle function now uses a randomized array, instead of a totally random number, which means that, while your music will come randomly, the order stays the same as you scroll through, much like in iTunes. The fancier part of the update is the inclusion of almost full keyboard control over the player. The Left and Right arrow keys change tracks forward and backward, and when used in combination with the Shift key seeks through a track. The Up and Down arrow keys control the volume, the Spacebar Plays/Pauses, and the Control key (Command on a Mac) switches through combinations of Repeat and Shuffle. (the flash movie needs focus to enable keyboard control, this can be done through external scripts, or by the user clicking on the movie)Check it.
