Early last year, I created a web site for my Mainz-based rock band. I was looking for a Flash (SWF) audio player to use on the page, but I could find no player that was fully customizable without using the commercial Adobe Flash IDE. Thus, I wrote a new Flash audio player that is fully customizable using open source tools (swfmill for creating the SWF file, MTASC for compiling ActionScript code and Inkscape for creating the SVG control graphics) and called it Flourish Player. Yesterday, I released a new version that makes use of new features of the recent swfmill version so that customization of the player is now even easier. The individual button graphics are stored as SVG files and after they are edited using Inkscape or another SVG editor, they are incorporated in the player by recompilation. Plans for future versions include full customizability without the need to recompile the player.
The new release is available in source or binary form from the Flourish Player project web site or directly from SourceForge.
