lovely little site
« on: Thu, 01 October 2009, 16:03:00 »
I've just found this linked on another forum. Though a few of you might be interested.

It's about the best use of Flash I've seen (Flash 10 required IIRC).

It's a Synth, well, more than that. Not cubase, but a lot more than I imagined was possible to do with Flash.

DOH!

Got sidetracked playing with it again, and forgot to paste it.

Although it does annoy me that its built in Flash, it is definitely one of the more impressive uses of Flash that I've seen.

IIRC, you are a Web-Dev? High praise indeed! Most web-dev's I know hate Flash with a passion, but Clients insist upon it.

I don't like seeing it used when there are alternatives that are more universal.

Being only a little knowledgeable with designing sites (I can hand-code HTML (Pre Dreamweaver), and a little JS, do my graphics, but that's it), what would you use to make something like that?

A combination of a server-side programming language, such as PHP, Javascript, and possibly AJAX, which is a more direct combination of the two.

Flash is like Visual Basic for the internet: it works, but who's impressed?

My 64-bit linux flash plugin is not loading the site.  Oh well.  At this moment in time, I'm not sure there would be an open-standard way to generate dynamic sound on a web page, so flash, a Java applet, Silverlight... some sort of plugin-based system is going to be it.  Otherwise, I'm with timw4mail.

Flash should only be used for things Javascript can't do. Javascript typically does more than everything it needs to with a few Ajax requests served via the server side language of your choice. In this situation, dealing with audio, it's not quite as native, and that's probably why they chose Flash.

Er...forgot to say - cool app. Even though I'm not a FLASH FAN by any means (and you have two types of people...people who hate flash because myspace music players have jaded them, and people who hate flash because they've developed in it long enough to hate it's "quirks"), they did a good job.
