new project request: modplugin under flash

bachterman · March 23, 2006, 08:12:14

it would be so nice to have a simple swf that plays mods on my site, because nobody can/like install(ing) plugins into the program files dir.

I don't think .swf files can play modules. So you'll have to convert them to an mp3 file, and insert those in your .swf to play on your site.

Do you mean implementing a mod player in ActionScript? This wouldn't really be a feature request, more a new project request.

Last time I looked at the audio API for ActionScript (a few years ago) it wasn't that great.. I couldn't see any way to do anything very elaborate... but things might have evolved...

Perhaps not totally on topic, but related anyway:
Are there any Java modplayers which could be implemented into a site?
(if they play the modules good it wouldn't hurt either).

Using a Vitalize applet might be the solution (if anyone had ever heard of Vitalize in the first place).

thanks for the quick reply, guys!
lpchip: the mp3 conversion isn't a very good idea, because of the limited space on my free hosting server.
rewbs: i rewrote the topic's name

fisk0: no idea. the modplugin supports java commands from outside.
wong: never heard of it. after a google search i found a vitalize plugin, that is a very safe web-browser plug in, that allows you to experience rich multimedia applications and action packed games

It is indeed - the trouble is that after reading it a bit further, I think the applications are entirely self-contained, meaning they can't reference external files at all. That seems a bit unlikely to me, though.

You could also steal money, use a paid service and call that a free host. :wink:
