Fun SoundPlayer Maker and FlashWAmp are programs for easy creating flash mp3 players to embed audio into a website or blog.

Our flash sound player creators make web music players as swf files (shockwave flash). But they also generate an HTML-code to be inserted into a web page code. This option is great because it simplifies player publishing very much. Not everyone can write an HTML code, and the programs help people to embed audio without programming skills. But it’s not the only advantage of HTML-code generation.

Generated HTML-code contains some of the parameters of flash audio player interface. And these parameters can be changed manually immediately in HTML.

Let’s look at a sample of an HTML-code generated by Fun SoundPlayer Maker software.

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" target="_blank">http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="236" height="114">

<param name="movie" value="myflashplayer.swf"><param name="quality" value="high">

<embed src="myflashplayer.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" target="_blank">http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="236" height="114" ></embed>

</object>

In this code we can change the following parameters:

1. FLASH PLAYER SIZE

width="236" height="114"

width="236" height="114" ></embed>

You can change values to set another width and height of a flash object frame and your flash sound player size correspondingly. That’s much easier than creating and publishing new swf file only to change size of the player. Try to preserve aspect ratio when resizing your player not to distort its proportions.

2. SWF FILE NAME

<param name="movie" value="myflashplayer.swf">

<embed src="myflashplayer.swf"

When you want to change player’s design, you have to create new swf file, but you don’t have to copy-paste new HTML-code. Simply change a name of the file, and your flash mp3 player is renewed. It’s extremely handy when you want the frame size not to be changed. Only mind you that if you intend to replace a rectangular player with a round one (or vice versa), you won’t be able to save the frame size without distorting your player.

You can reference swf file either absolutely or relatively. An absolute link defines the location of the file absolutely including the protocol to use to get the document, the server to get it from, the directory it is located in, and the name of the file itself, for example:

value=”http://mysite.com/myflashplayer.swf" target="_blank">http://mysite.com/myflashplayer.swf”

If you want to link to swf file in the same directory, you don't need to write out the full URL and you may use a relative link. All you need to write is the name of the file:

value="myflashplayer.swf"

Or, if the file is located in a subdirectory, write the name of this subdirectory and the file:

value="subdirectory/myflashplayer.swf".

Default link generated by the programs is the name of an swf file only. So, if you need to move created flash player from the root directory to another place, you’ll have to change the link.

3. FLASH PLAYER QUALITY

<param name="quality" value="high">

<embed src="myflashplayer.swf" quality="high"

You can set high, medium or low quality. This quality is only the picture quality, it doesn’t affect sound quality. The higher your player quality is, the longer your web page will be opening and the more system resources will be used by your flash sound player.

Pay an attention to the fact that each of these parameters is duplicated in the HTML-code. You should set the same values in both lines so that your web music player can work correctly with any web-browser.
