Needed: Flash/ActionScript dev
posted by pete on February 16th, 2010
UPDATE: Thanks to all who replied. The position has been filled.
Are you a Flash developer with strong ActionScript skills?
We’re building a game-like web app that will play audio. We’d love to use HTML5, but browser support isn’t where we need it to be for this. We want a light-weight Flash mp3 player with a small resource footprint. It will be controlled exclusively via a JavaScript interface; there will be no visual user interface.
Here’s what it needs to do:
- load, store and play multiple sounds, possibly simultaneously (load via URL, cache with an ID, play from cache given the ID) - and able to load new sounds loaded dynamically
- expose methods to JavaScript for play, stop, pause, resume, seek to percent and seek to seconds
- register Javascript function callbacks for events such as “swf loaded”, “sound file loaded”, “sound is playing” and “finished playing”
We’re still working through the specifics of issues regarding mixing and simultaneous playback; we look forward to deferring to the experience of the right candidate.
It should also be noted that our client is open to this code becoming the basis of an independent open source project.
If you think you’re the right person to work on this short-term engagement, and have time to meet with us and ultimately complete it by the end of February, please send a brief introduction and an estimate for how much you would charge for this work. Linking to your Github repository is appreciated, so that we can review your previous work.
