Updated version of Playr

It took a while… A long while… Like… A year.
But I finally updated Playr and made actual plans for V3. Thanks again for all of your great support and feedback during the past year! It really means a lot to me!

It was really great to see how Playr popped up on different blogs; Sometimes mentioned as part of a project/experiment, sometimes mentioned in lists of handy AS3 classes. That really made me happy and it inspired me to add even more features, and make it even more useful. But those are to yet to be built

For now I just fixed a few bugs and I added a pretty important feature which wasn’t there yet: the debug property. Set debug to true and Playr will trace any errors that occur without breaking your app, without you having to listen to these errorEvents.

I also changed the shuffle internals (I still wonder what I was thinking when I wrote a ‘setShuffle’ instead of simple getters/setters…) and as far as I know: Nothing seems broken after updating old projects using Playr to the new Playr version (but I’ve been wrong before…).

And the last thing I want to mention: I changed the way Playr handles stream errors. The old version would just skip the track, and try again later. However I think the new implementation is better: The ‘broken’ track just gets removed from the playlist before proceeding to the next track.

So there you go: It’s online, it’s free, it’s open-source, it’s for you to use and save time!
(And it’s created by me, so you’ll probably find bugs sooner or later: Do tell me about them and I’ll look into fixing them )

Happy playing!

FlashFocus reloaded (part 1)

Ronny — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 08:33:01 +0000

Those who know me personally have undoubtably noticed a serious increase of FlashFocus activity in the past few days, and today I’m happy to announce that FlashFocus started the long awaited update.

FlashFocus went down for scheduled maintenance on Friday, June 12th. The team worked for 3 days straight in order to be able to present a new FlashFocus running from our new server over at our sponsor Easyhosting.

The work the team did during the past 3 days was the first big step in order to be able to roll out a lot of new features in the coming weeks.

If you speak Dutch and you’re intrested in Flash, Flex, Air, After-Effects or any other Adobe product, don’t hold back to join the biggest Dutch-speaking community on the web. Ask your questions, share your knowledge, show off your coolest projects.
