SoundManager 2: A Sound API for JavaScript
Written by on January 29th, 2007 in Ajax News.
Scott Schiller has come up with something very useful: SoundManager 2 a sound API which lets web developers easily load, play and control
sounds (via Flash
using Javascript.
Scott talks about his back story to how this API came about, for the jsAMP program.
There is a full project page with API documentation, some nifty examples and
demos, and a download (BSD license) here.
He also has a number of nifty demos for us to check out:
- Basic in-page API examples with code (onload, createSound, play etc.)
- An MPC (sampler/drum machine) demo, showing some of the basic sound event
handlers (loading, play position/progress and so on) - The reason I did this in the first place: jsAMP, an in-page MP3 player (inspired by Winamp) which uses the SM2 API
Check it out and give Scott some feedback.
