Hi all,

Does anyone have experience of integrating the above mentioned player into Freeway pro?

If so, is it a good player? And how difficult is it to install?

Thanks

Hi Neil

I’ve integrated codefuse on a couple of my sites. You can see an example here:
http://www.webdesignworks.org/Last%20Battle/listen.html

The player is really simple to use if you follow the instructions to THE LETTER, i.e - even capitalisation counts.

The one I’ve used is quite pretty, but there are some fairly jazzy ones as well. If you run in to difficulties email me off list and I’ll talk you through the process.

All best wishes

Dick

Hi Dick,

Thanks for the rapid response. I had a look at the code on the page for the link you sent me and managed to figure it out from that.

It was quite easy with an example to look at. Thanks very much,

Neil

PS. In this line
var so = new SWFObject(“mp3/flash/mp3.swf”, “mymovie”, “350”, “400”, “1”, “#cc3333”)

what does the “1” do? Thats the only thing I could not find a meaning for.

Thanks again.

Hi Neil

Glad this was useful. The only code similar to the one you sent below is: 'var so = new SWFObject(“playerMultipleList.swf”, “mymovie”, “295”, “200”, “7”, “#FFFFFF”);
Can’t find the one you sent anywhere?? CC3333 is a colour not even on the page. Strange.

Anyway …as long as it helped.

cheers

Hi Dick,

Sorry to confuse matters.

You have the right line. I changed the 7 to a 1 in my code to see if anything happened. I forgot to change it back when I posted.

Any idea what the ‘7’ is for in the line you quoted?

Thanks again.

Hi Neil

I’ve been doing some backtracking, and owe you an apology. I originally used a codefuse player, but this one comes from premiumbeat:
http://www.premiumbeat.com/flash_resources/free_flash_music_player/multiple_tracks_mp3_player_menu.php#1

I’ve looked at the sample coding downloaded from the site, and I just cut out what wasn’t strictly needed, ending up with:

This text will be replaced by the flash music player.

This was entered using ‘insert markup item’ in the usual way. I think the numbers refer to dimensions, and FFFF is 'white. That’s maybe why changing 7 to 1 made no discernable difference. Change the larger numbers and maybe it will??

Anyhow - hope you get the player sorted, and sorry about the confusion.

all the best

You can cut out even more. Just drag the SWF file onto the page in
Freeway, and let it write all the JavaScript and object/embed code for
you. Single-click on the movie, use Item / Extended to add any
flashVars or what have you that you need to pass to the object, and
you’re done.

Thanks Walter.

You’ve made it so much simpler than I imagined.

Hi Guys,

Dick, The flash players must have been similar as the codefuse player worked well using your code !

Walter, Sorry, but I’m still getting to grips with ‘Item Extended’

Using the example below, when I click new, what should be the name and then value?

Thanks both,

I’m not familiar with SWFObject, so I can’t be 100% certain, but it
looks as though the URL to the playlist is the only thing you have to
send to the Flash movie for it to work. The trouble with this code
you’ve posted is that there doesn’t seem to be a variable name
involved here. Many times you will send the variable flashVars to a
Flash movie, so you might try that, but flashVars is usually a key-
value stream of its own, like a URL querystring. This line

so.addVariable("http...")

doesn’t give me any clues as to what you should put into the dialog.
Is there a link to instructions anywhere in here? I might be able to
translate if I could see all the words…

Thanks,

Walter

Okay, so what you need to do (after you drag the thing into the page)
is click once on the Flash movie element, choose Item / Extended from
the main menu, and then click on the segment of the dialog,
then press New, and enter

name value
playlistPath playlist.xml

And upload. You’ll also need to upload playlist.xml to the same folder
as the Flash movie (usually Resources). If the player doesn’t work,
then try adjusting playlist.xml to another value. It’s hard to tell if
you didn’t write the Flash where it looks for the source file, whether
it looks relative to the movie or the page.

What you can’t do is to enter a complete URL to the file, that will
just run afoul of the Flash security system.

I may be way off beam here, but really it was pretty simple. I simply used the code referred to below in a FW markup item, defined the paths to site and song fully in the xml file, uploaded everything to the same root folder on my site, and it just worked.

I know you are much better at this kind of thing so I wouldn’t presume to tell you how to do it, maybe it was beginners luck, but it did work!

Somewhat mystified.

Yes, but then you’re skipping what Freeway is good for. Yes, you can
paste all sorts of code into its various markup containers, but then
you have to guess what it looks like. If you drag the Flash movie onto
the page, Freeway will write all the code for you and make your life
simpler.
