Description
AIRadio is an AIR based web radio player. It loads the play.it radio player powered by CBS Radio. After moving away from Florida I missed my favorite radio station, O’Rock 105.9. I later found that they played their music online via this Flash based player. So I built this application to host it out of the browser and minimize to the tray for easy listening.

Description
TempoLite 3.0 is a complete refactoring of the code. I’ve finally made it modular enough that you can pick and choose which components you need at the time. If you only want to play an mp3, then just use the SoundPlayer. If you need to play a video use the NetStreamPlayer. If you’re not sure if you’re going to be loading an mp3 or a video, use TempoLite and it will play the media with the correct player. By using only what you need you can keep filesize down. TempoLite (1.0) is now the core of Tempo, with Tempo expanding upon TempoLite’s capabilities. With that said, TempoLite focuses on playing and managing media, nothing else. Any UI elements would be handled by the user or by Tempo.
TempoLite is no longer a component you drag into the library. It is now purely just a set of calsses you copy to your project folder. I’ve found this is simpler to test and update than needing to update something in the FLA constantly.

Description
SideShow is an AIR based FLV player. Based on TempoLite, it’s capable of playing FLVs, MP4s, or really whatever Flash Player is capable of. SideShow currently supports the following file types: flv, mp4, m4v, m4a, 3gp, mov, f4v, f4p, f4a, f4b, mp3. The UI is based on Sasami2K, a fantastic video player built years and years ago. Sasami2K is no longer actively developed (latest was in 2001) so I took it upon myself to revive my own version in the form of SideShow.

- Scalable UI
- Playlist window
- Metadata window displays any meta data pertaining to the media playing Improved!
- Can take screenshots of videos as they play
- Robust amount of keyboard shortcuts

- Video filters (negative, flip, soften, sharpen, brightness, scanlines)

What’s New
- Now extends TempoLite – Previously Tempo and TempoLite shared the same core classes but not through extending. With the overhaul, Tempo now extends directly from TempoLite, simplifying integration.
- Removed PureMVC and restructured – I was searching for a way to get TempoLite even smaller than it already was. In the end, I nixed PureMVC and realized I didn’t miss it (at least for this project). With TempoLite losing PureMVC, I had to take that change to Tempo. With that and a LOT of restructuring I managed to cut file size by about 7Kb!
- Dropped compiled size by 7Kb (32Kb -> 25Kb)
- Fixed video scaling issue on initial play – This was an issue I noticed after converting to TempoLite 2.0.0, where the video would play unscaled, then repeat scaled.
Description
Tempo is an online Flash-based music player, built to allow for a fully customizable interface. It is even capable of changing skins on the fly. Skinning is handled by making a simple SWF with movieclips with specific names. Tempo will look to see if the buttons exist, and if so, will assign actions to them. You can make a skin as simple as the Demo in minutes, or you can take the time to build one as unique as the Winamp skin. Tempo currently supports the following file types: flv, mp4, m4v, m4a, 3gp, mov, f4v, f4p, f4a, f4b, and mp3.
