iTunes Flash Playlist

Got the idea to put my iTunes playlist on my site from Flex-mx. He posted about this .NET app, IndieRock, that will upload a text file of your current, last n songs, n defaulting to 10, to your webserver. I then load and parse that text file into some Flash files. The datagrid in version A is hard to get smaller than 220 at 10 Verdana, and the bloody mx.core.View doesn’t listen to the global styles, nor can you set them on himself in version B; but either way, I think it’s neato! Pretty schweet what one can do in under an hour with Flash.

    In Safari it is way off… both the grid and the accordion tab hang over your main posts (the entire Album Column) but are a little transparent … so I can kinda read what is going on behind them :) Other then that pretty cool! :

    That fuggin browser hates me… any idea’s? My CSS is nested in a table… maybe that’s the faux paux or something… bleh.

    Same problem with Mozilla 1.7 RC2…
    It seems that your page looks good only in IE … altough I got a JavaScript error on line 282: “Object expected” :p

    Hmmm … full CSS design expected, I might say ;)

    you need a proper page template is all.. your using jacked up ones. Even MT 2.6 had jacked up templates. 3 seems to be better.

    No, it’s jacked because I created them myself. Flash Developer’s should not be doing CSS… course, I’m sure there are 50 million Flash developers who disagree. Well, it’s Friday so good on ya, then… I must be the only one that sux at this stuff. Anyone want a CSS job?
