Flash and Javascript Audio Player
Posted: Fri Apr 28, 2006 1:08 pm
I need to build a web audio player. The specs are pretty simple: just play/pause and select a track from a drop down menu. I believe that the combination of Flash for a fairly browser independent media player and to do the controls and track selector is the way most places are going right now. They also seem to use Javascript to feed the track lists and other info to the player SWF.
I have searched and found some media sites that do this so I understand the general implementation. So some questions:
- Is the configuration I described above the best way available to implement this?
- Do you have any recommendations for passing data in and out of Flash? FlashVars? Javascript proxy scripts?
- Do you know of an open source projects already doing this, so I don't have to do work that has already been done?
