What kind of an application is this? You might need to go and download the AIR runtime first. But the HTML code is so sleek and beautifully clean. Go look at the source code for the HTML pages on muxtape. And of course it validates as valid XML. So what? You want to get a listing of some random Muxtapes?
Using E4X you can get a list of users with this single expression: body. After a little parsing you can get a list of MP3 URLs and the data about each song, like artist, track title, duration, etc.
If you know the URL you can download the file. So I just made that a bit easier. MuxMaster has a Download link for each song underneath the song name. One click and the song will download in the background you can specify where you want songs to download to. Additionally, each playlist also has a Download All link, so with a single click you can download all the songs in the playlist.
Is this bad? Is this application against everything that Muxtape stands for clean, simple, bare-bones UI? Is adding download functionality quickening the shutdown of the service? Is this effectively taking a step toward destroying the service that I actually really enjoy using?
Yeah, the answer to all those might be yes. Yes, the excessive use of 3D and especially the over-used Coverflow visualization are exactly opposite to the perfectly clean design concept of Muxtape. The truth is, I hate Coverflow. And it was just so damn easy. And yes, being able to download an entire mix with a single click may very well be a horrible thing for Muxtape as a whole. But the technology underneath the service was just so simple I mean, really?
Or you can view the source here. And the code was influenced by the minimalist design of the Muxtap app itself, so I tried to keep things extremely tidy and clean.
I used a few open-source flex libraries. The most obvious one is the Coverflow Flex component that I created and released on my blog. That component can be seen when you download songs. FlexLib is also licensed under the MIT license is there a pattern forming?
The source code for MuxMaster, like all code released on my blog, is also licensed under the MIT license, which you can read here. Basically you can do whatever you want with the code. I might do updates like that to keep it working. If you have feedback shoot me a message using my contact form or leave comments here. I am not storing any music files on my server or any server that I am associated with.
I am not providing a list of any music files stored anywhere on the Internet. Here are all the examples I showed today in my session at Flex. View the slides here. Physics Form I mashed together the most generic, boring, crappy Flex form example app with a physics engine. In the example below, click on the Login button to watch what happens hint: after you click login try dragging around the controls.
Oh, and I threw in the PromptingTextInput component from FlexLib to meet my requirement of using at least two open source projects in each example. View the example View Source. I have not updated it to AIR 1. If you have the new AIR 1. FlexSpy with Event Listeners I decided to show this example even though I had already released the code on my blog.
I have removed numericstepper,… all those and added my own stuff. It compiles and when I run it.. It runs fine with your code.. I just replaced the components in Panel with grids, Lists and Labels.
For those having an issue with large panels covering others, I figured out a way to remedy this. In CoverFlowContainer. Good job! We use this in a kiosk product catalog touch screen. Great job with the Flex component. Any plans on porting your component to Papervision3D 2. I am having problems displaying images in place of flex controls. I am trying to create a photo coverflow or photoflow with text at the bottom of each image. In place of a Panel i used Canvas with an Image tag inside it with source set to my image.
This would generate the cover flow but you only see the selected or centered image at one instance and the surrounding ones just disappear. Big sorry that post before was complete bullshit. I was confused. The real solution was to use the updated version of this Project from the top of the page and add the images in a Canvas component like: …. When I debug this component at local PC,It works fine. But I uploaded the application including this component on Web server,It doesnt work well.
Main Image is shown,but other images are not shown. Am I missing something? I cant figure out how to make the bigger? Can you give me a hint where to adjust there Scale or Width. You made a great component and the precision is absolutely perfect. I played with the timing in the BasePV3DContainer and it works best with your setting of 1 or there abouts.
This might not be news to anybody, but I though wow! This whole thing can be controlled with an XML file that a client can change whenever he wants to configure the CoverFlow container or Carousel on the slightest whim. This is really cool!!! Thanks Doug! Compiled under ubuntu9. But without extends MovieMaterial error. Is there any way to add tooltip for each element in the coverflow? Tried using normal tooltip option, but it display it only for the selected item and not for others?
If i add an image to one of the panel create at runtime, the panel does not show up at the background. But when i click just above the reflection of the same panel, the coverflow effect will not be seen but after the effect the panel appears on the front. Hy guys, First, Many thanks to Doug for this great component! Bill, I would ask you if you can explain more about what you said.
I tried to put a repeater inside my component to add new pictures externaly, without recompiling but I have several problems with them. During my development, everything works fine, but when i : a.
I have added in a timing event into my app to automaticall scroll through the contents which pauses when mouseOver. When the cursor is not over the component, i see nothing except for the colored background. I had the same result. I would like to use this component and i have the same problem as Nathan B and others. I added canvas with an image and a link to coverflowcontainer. No problems in development but when i put my files on the server.
I add canvas on the fly. Nathan,Prajwall or agent Smith, did you find an answer? Genius and generous Doug? I have the same problem like others when the number of images or more than 34 in coverflow display, I can only see one image in coverflow. I propose a little fix to your CoverFlow. My scenario is: I have to add panels as children of the coverflow.
Each panel has an image loaded at runtime. Your implementation works fine IF the panels dont change width or heigth after they are created. BUT depending on the image loaded at runtime, the width can be diferent than the heigth. It would be nice if the children panels redimension a bit to host better the image just loaded.
Hi from Chile, i must to say that every time i visit your blog i find really amazing components. You can solve it if u compile the Coverflow Project with the 3. I would like to have every time fife panels in the middle. When I selecting the next panel, the last on the other side must be going on the opposite side. These are great samples. I was wondering if you had plans to update these to the 4.
You need to mention which versions of the libs you buit against. Pingback: Image- und Coverflow WebmasterArchiv. Doug I have been trying to couple your coverflow component with XML but am unable to do so.
Can you share some examples to demonstrate this? First of all, hats off to you for making this component. It has been of a great help to me. But I am facing some issues when i am trying to make it scalable for say more than records. So,i have used addChild and then used setChildIndex which is an alternative to it. I would really apperciate your inputs.
Thank you in advance for your help. Hi The CoverFlow component is very fantastic. It is very helpful. Could you provide us the Api? Hey, this component is great stuff!! But is there any way to add tooltips to all the items in the coverflow? Oh yeah, and how do you add key down events to control the children selection?
Hi, Can you please upload the source for phunky with which this coverflow example is created. All the source projects that i get from internet are either incomplete or wrong version. Thank you!

UPDATE: Feb 26, I have updated the CoverFlow library a bit and added support for adding children without explicitly setting the width and height of the children ie using the normal Flex auto-sizing validation stuff.

December 27, at am. Hey,Doug,thanks for your coverFlow component,that is already working with my programme. For Example: step1: add 20 pics into the coverFlow step2: remove all of the pics step3: goto step1 after several loops , click one pic, u can see the coverFlow works very very slow. January 6, at am.

Some of the stuff I mentioned is released now, some is coming in the next few months.
But keep an eye on these projects, they signal a shift in the Flex framework. I suspect that shift will officially come from within Adobe eventually with a future release of the Flex SDK, but it will come from within the community sooner.

They handle different algorithms for laying out objects, ie in a grid, in a circle, etc etc. Stephen Downs aka Tink is working on some layout algorithms for use within a ViewStack. The basic idea is very similar, create a set of layout algorithms that determine how the children get placed, but make those algorithms independent of the actual visual component.
At a minimal level this will allow you to do similar stuff like P. Degrafa has just been released, which allows you to write complex graphics tags using MXML. The Degrafa team has basically done the same thing, but you can use it now instead of waiting for the next Flex release.
What this means is that if you have a set of core components without specific visual designs, you can easily create skins using Degrafa in MXML.
