Flash MP3 player with AM and FM rad

Why is it that the only MP3 players I see with AM and FM are CD based? Some people have a great desire to listen to AM radio for sporting events, news, or talk radio. It is so annoying for me to have to carry a separate radio with my n200 so that I can have my music as well as AM radio. The funny thing is that I listen to AM radio much more than FM. I usually like to either listen to my music or to AM radio. I also have an MP3 cd player with AM and FM, however that is even larger than both the n200 plus a small separate radio. Since I don't want to constantly swap the earphones from the n200 to the radio and back, I am also carrying two sets of earphones.
My ideal flash mp3 player would be
) At least 4 gigs
2) have both AM and FM radio
3) Run on a AA battery.
AA batteries hold 2.5 times the power of a AAA yet are often lower in price.
4) have a decent sized display.
5) Have a separate button that with one press switches from mp3 music to the radio or back.
6) Supports subscription music
7) has a built in clock with the time constantly displayed, even when the player is off.
While such a player would be slightly larger than the Nano Plus, it would be so much more functional.. There are still some who want the smallest possible player so I wouldn't want to see such a player replace the Nano Plus, however it would be nice if such a player would replace the TX FM which is too similar to the Nano Plus(who really cares whether the USB plug is on the player itself?).

I think the reason you don't see AM radios in 00% digital products (such as MP3 players) is not enough demand to tackle two significant technical issues:
The ferrite-coil antennas used by most portable AM radios take up a lot of room on circuit boards; some MP3 players are too small for them, while others simply can't give up valuable circuit-board real estate for a feature used by so few people. OTOH, most portable FM radios use the headphone cord as an antenna, so they can be smaller.</LI>
AM frequencies and channel spacing vary around the world in ways that make a "one size fits all" digital solution very hard to implement. The US AM band runs from 535-705 kHz with 0-kHz spacing (540, 550, ... , 700); in other parts of the world it still runs from 535-605 kHz, and/or uses 9-kHz spacing which is incompatible. OTOH, nearly all major countries, except Japan, have adopted FM bands in the 87.5 (88 in the US) to 08 MHz range, and all spacing schemes are multiples of the narrowest one, 50 kHz (it's 00 kHz in most countries, 200 kHz in the US), so a digital FM tuner covering 87.5-08 MHz with 50-kHz spacing will work everywhere but Japan.</LI>
Also, digital-radio considerations in the US may inhibit the sale of new AM radios here. The US digital-radio standard is an IBOC (in-band, on-channel) system, where the analog and digital broadcasts share the same frequency and signal. Though this is supposed to allow simultaneous analog and digital broadcasts as long as broadcasters want them (unlike DAB systems in other countries and digital TV even in the US, where the digital signal is separate and broadcasters must eventually give up their analog spectrum), even IBOC broadcasters will eventually go all-digital. Since the bandwidth of digital AM is so limited (at present it only promises "FM quality" while digital FM promises "CD quality") and digital limits analog sound quality (especially on AM where it's poor to begin with), it's likely AM will want to go 00% digital long before FM does. Limiting analog AM radios now makes it easier for AM to make that painful transition.

Flash MP3 Player with Timer

Heres the thing:
I have developped a mp3 player with a tutorial, and now I need it to mute when it comes a certain time like 23pm and then unmute at 10am for example.
I am a really noob at this and need real help to get this done, its for a christmas family project
The real idea is to set an hour to mute the sound and another to unmute it.
The player I have done its the one in the following tutorial http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3musicplayer/6.php
I really hope you guys can help me ! :S
thanks in advance

if you just want to check the time when your app starts, use:
function playSong(mySong:Number):void{
var myTitle = my_songs[mySong].@TITLE;
var myArtist = my_songs[mySong].@ARTIST;
var myURL = my_songs[mySong].@URL;
title_txt.text = myTitle;
artist_txt.text = myArtist;
if (my_channel){
my_channel.stop();
my_sound = new Sound();
my_sound.load(new URLRequest(myURL));
my_channel = my_sound.play();
my_channel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onNext);
    var myTime = new Date();
    var myHour:Number = myTime.getHours();
var st:SoundTransform=my_channel.soundTransform;
   if ((myhour>=10)&&(myhour<=(22)){
st.volume=1;
} else {
st.volume=0;
my_channel.soundTransform=st;

Flash exe with transparent background

Hi,
   Is there a way to project an EXE with transparent background from flash (only using flash).
If not only flash,
      then what else should I use??
As I know there are softwares like NorthCode, Zinc, etc., But all of them affects the script in some way like "fscommand("quit");, loadMovie();" does not seem working.
What I exactly need is:
1) Flash projector (EXE as well as APP) with transparent background
2) I need to loadMovie (call exteranl swfs) into the main projector file.
      "note:The external swfs are FlashPaper files, so I should I have access to API, so that I could resize them, edit UI as I want."
Thanks in Advance.
Vinod Kumar.K.V

from "Render and export a composition as an FLV or F4V file":
"To include the alpha channel in the FLV output, use the On2 VP6 codec and select Encode Alpha Channel in the Video tab of the export settings dialog box."

Create a very simple mp3 player with flash

newbie with flash...
with the FLVPlayback component i can get a nice looking basic player for .flv files easily...
Q: is there some way to set up the same functions to create a very simple mp3 player with flash?

Search Google for "Flash MP3 tutorial" and if you know which version of actionscript you plan to use, try substituting that for "Flash"

Hi
I am having problems in publishing a file done in Flash- a
logo spinning,
and I want the background to be transparent. Under Publish
Settings, I have
the following:
ALPHA: Alpha-transparent
Layer: Auto
And checked the Flatten (Make self-contained).
However when I import the file into another application-
Apple�s Motion, I
get a white background- which is what I have originally. Am I
doing
something wrong?
I even check the track in QT Pro and set the Movie Properties
but it is not
becoming transparent. I appreciate any tips on it.
Thank you.

I've never gotten it to work either. I usually set the
background to something not used in the animation, like bright
green, and then composite the video. I've never used Motion, so I
don't know if this is possible.

Setting up Simple Flash mp3 Player

I have a page with some links to mp3 songs.
I would like to set things up so that when user clicks a mp3 link, a small flash mp3 player (embedded in the page) starts playing with that songs. The user could click on another song that would replace the last one at any time and have basic controls.
- flash mp3 player - need 1 that has start / stop and volume buttons (simple)
BTW: I set this type of thing up in the past with a frameset - top had quicktime player embedded - and bottom song links went to top frame - all was fine but kind of bulky.... looking for something a bit slicker...
Also would like to do the same for flash / quicktime videos
Also if there's something free or close to free that is a jukebox type where the song list is part of flash - that might be fun too....
Thanks in advance - dave

Flash mp3 player volume click

Hello,
I have a flash mp3 player i created with actionscript with a volume slider,
but I want to change the volume from a slider to a click
how to I do that?
thanks

if the volume is currently .5, how do you determine if the volume should go up or down when the button is clicked?

How to insert image with transparent background?

I have several logos saved at .GIFs with transparent backgrounds that I would like to import into my dashboard, but it seems that the image component only supports JPEG. Is there a way to import images while maintaining their transparency?

Well, you CAN insert GIFs or other image formats. But I have yet to figure out a way to take a GIF with a transparent background and import it into my Xcelsius while preserving the transparency. The transparent background always just defaults to white.
This is a crucial feature as I have some logos I want to use that are circular. But if I can't give them a transparent background, it drastically limits their placement options.
I know that flash does support transparency, so am I missing something here?

Flashvars, loaderinfo for mp3 player with xml

ok, I am using flash cs5, am pretty new to as3, and I've been trying for 3 days to figure this out, as of yet have not been able to.
I have built a music community website, obviously members can sign up for an account, and upload mp3 files to their accounts.
now I'll explain in as much detail as I can.
Once registration is complete, the php script creates a folder in the members directory on my server with their unique id, then when they go and upload an mp3, it uploads it to their folder and automatically creates a playlist.xml file for the song(s)
so, I have a prebuilt flash mp3 player that I got from developphp.com, his as3 code calls for a static directory for the audio and xml, now since the flash player will live in the root, and the xml and audio will live in the members/$id folders, I am told to use flashvars and loaderinfo.parameters to do what I need, and that is to load the xml and mp3 files into the player for the profile that is being viewed at that moment, so lets look at what I've put into the html object and embed.
lets use profile #7
<param name="movie" value="flplayer.swf?<?php print"$id/playlist.xml" ?>">
            <embed src="flplayer.swf?<?php print "$id/playlist.xml" ?>"> (please tell me if I have done this incorrectly)
now if we go to the profile.php?id=7 page, thius is what the page source looks like:
<param name="movie" value="flplayer.swf?7/playlist.xml">
            <embed src="flplayer.swf?7/playlist.xml>">
now here is where I am stuck, as I said the flash mp3 player urlLoader and URLRequest, and I have been searching for days to figure out what I am supposed to do to get the player to pick up on the flash vars, here is the top part of the as3 code where it calls for the mp3 and the xml.
stop();
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.color = "0xFFFFFF";
list.setRendererStyle("textFormat", myFormat);
var trackToPlay:String;
var pausePosition:int = 0;
var songURL:URLRequest;
var isPlaying:Boolean = false;
var i:uint;
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "mp3_playlist.xml";
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
    myXML = XML(myLoader.data);
   var firstSong:String = myXML..Song.songTitle[0];
   var firstArtist:String = myXML..Song.songArtist[0];
   songURL = new URLRequest("mp3_files" + firstSong + ".mp3");
   status_txt.text = "1. "+firstSong +" - "+firstArtist;
     for each (var Song:XML in myXML..Song) {
i++;
var songTitle:String = Song.songTitle.toString();
var songArtist:String = Song.songArtist.toString();
list.addItem( { label: i+". "+songTitle+" - "+songArtist, songString: songTitle, Artist: songArtist, songNum: i } );
var myArray = new Array (0,0);
         list.selectedIndices = myArray;
gotoAndStop(3);
I am not asking for free work, I'm just trying to get pointed in the right direction, through searching I have been trying to find out how and what to change, and I have been having a great deal of trouble finding the info, I'm ready to pull my hair out.

Video with Transparent background

Hi I am trying to create a video through Adobe Premiere Elemements 10 that has a transparent background.
I need it to be in .FLV, .SWF or .MP4 format.
I have created the alpha etc but i think i am not exporting it correctly.
Can anyone explain the steps for creating the video with transparent background and how to export it for those file types please?
thanks.

I've not used the software, as I said a quick google threw it up. From looking at their further screens (http://www.increditools.com/flash_video_studio/features.php#flash8alpha) and (http://www.increditools.com/flash_video_studio/samples.php#flash8alpha) a probable workflow would be to create an original in PRE against your green screen and export this as DV (for standard resolution) or HDV (for HiDef). Once in the Flash software it is probably then just a case of using an eyedropper to turn your green screen transparent.
However your best option would be to install it and play around. Looking at their FAQ, similarly to the PRE trial, it installs as a trial version that will place a watermark across your finished video.
If you do try it out please be sure to post back here about its effectiveness - it may help others.
Cheers,
Neale

Creative's flash MP3 player strat

I don't understand Creative's strategy in the flash MP3 player market. The n200, v200, Muvo Mix and Muvo tx fm seem too similar. I like the idea of leaving out the radio, line in and mic on some models to lower the cost, however leaving off the display is imo a great mistake(I could do without the backlight though). How about more di'versity in the flash player offerings? How about a slightly larger player that takes a AA battery and has both an AM and FM tuner? How about a flash memory based player with 2 gigs of storage(Have the 28 meg players all been phased out? Perhaps soon the 256 meg players should be phased out?)

From a business perspecti've Creative have to tally all of these bugs against resource and impact. If the bug is small, unlikely to be found and/or doesn't affect many users, chances are they won't fix it. It may irritate the hell out of a small group of users, but that's business unfortunately, particularly in large companies.

HT1460 Where can I find a dockable MP3 player with no games on it?

I understand factory pre-loaded games can't be removed from an iPod. Apparently they serve some vital purpose. Who sells a dockable MP3 player with no games on it? I would gladly trade in one or more of my iPods for something like that.

fabulous, thankyou. The flashplayer is great. P7 thing looks
brilliant
too - good to know it's there if I ever need it. Thanks
again.
