Pop Up Mp3 flash player?

Expand Post »
Hello All,

I'm having a bit of trouble finding something that I thought wouldn't be too bad of a script or standard flash script out there.

Here's what I want. Click a button for song, opens up pop up window (flash or javascript, anything really), and plays the selected song in a small player.

Seems this would be pretty easy, but I'm not finding much information on it. It is not too many songs, so I don't mind putting the extra work into scripting to make it much nicer and easier to use.

I just don't like the embed idea and hate that it opens in default player. Would like to keep control over the overall site more.

I'll try to find an example, but I have yet to see one, so i posted here.

Johnny

Re: Pop Up Mp3 flash player?

Sorry this is such a late reply.

Could you create a javascript pop up window then just put a player such as this in it?

Although you do need to be careful when using pop out windows because most popular browsers now tend to be pretty good at blocking them.

Hope that helps.

Re: Pop Up Mp3 flash player?

I actually found a pretty good script. For all of you that might want to look for this it's here "Build a better web audio player"

Also to see how customizable this is, check on my site. Really impressive. Johnny and the Producers

Thank you for the reply, hopefully this post will help someone else because I always search here first :0)

Isn't this just Quicktime in a pop up window? Not everyone will have quicktime so it may be better to use a flash based one.

It's actually whatever your default player is. So if Windows Media player is your default, this works also. You might be right though, Flash would definitely be a better way to go. My issue is finding the right flash player to get the job done.

Re: Pop Up Mp3 flash player?

Try the one I posted about.

I like the idea of it being the users default. Clever.

Re: Pop Up Mp3 flash player?

Remember that all of these are dependent on what the user has installed on his computer. You can't force the user to download a player he doesn't want.

I will not let QuickTime on my computer, because it is greedy. Whenever it upgrades, it steals all of the default player settings and redirects them to QuickTime.

Midimagic: This uses the default play on the computer, that is the point!

Re: Pop Up Mp3 flash player?

Not to mention i am a great believer in using quicktime rather than windows anyway. Oh wait, I'm a mac user.

Also, when you update quicktime, does it not ask you what mime types to associate?
