January Primer: Building a Flash podcast player

At our last meeting, I mentioned that we would be presenting something using Adobe Flash. There were a few different concepts that I thought about demonstrating. Some new ideas and some projects that never came to fruit. After a late night attempt at a new project and lost files from the dead projects, I decided to present a project that I’ve completed and is currently in production.

This application takes an available mp3 file and makes it playable via a Flash SWF. The only required software is the Adobe Flash IDE that can be installed as a 90 day trial.

At this meeting we will discuss the Flash IDE, where Actionscript code is placed in a timeline based envirinment and how your HTML can send variables to the embeded SWF object on a web page.

I apologize for the exremely late primer, and I hope to see you all tonight at Charlie & Jake’s.

NOTE: Code is available here.
