Introducing 1Click2Fame.com

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

Here it is, this is what I’ve been working on for the past two months! It’s the new web site for 1Click2Fame.com where, and I quote, “finding fame is the name of the game”.

It’s owned by the company Enrich Productions and I was bought in to build them a Flash video player and also little bits of Flashy stuff here and there including the home page carousel and the competition count-down timer. More stuff to follow!

Creating a Video Player in Actionscript 3

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

So I’ve been working on creating a fully fledged player for the web site 1Click2Fame.com. A lot of people who have been following me on twitter have been asking me to publish my code, so here’s what you’ve all been waiting for.

This isn’t just your average FLV video player. I’m not going to go into great depths on creating stuff like the stop button, the seek bar and what not, I believe in creating clean and reusable code, so this tutorial is more about creating a great chromeless player API and then allowing you to go crazy with the UI.

Actionscript 3 Cue Points

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Today I was working on finalising the video player for the competition web site 1Click2Fame.com. Since this video player will be multi purpose, for example, it will be used as a “chromeless” style player but may also have a “chrome” where the user can interact by voting for acts and so on, it needs the ability to record metrics such as user interaction and more importantly cue points.

The team at 1Click2Fame.com are not only interested in seeing what video a user watched, but how long they watched it for, especially if they voted for or against it winning. So cue cue points!

More tutorials

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

I’ve been meaning to write a quick tutorial on how to create a simple carousel style gadget. I’ve been putting this off for a while as I haven’t had time, but I thought that I may as well just get on with it and knock one out! Also, lots of people have been searching for code on my site regarding the creation of YouTube gadgets, especially the ‘coverflow’ style one.

At the moment, I’ve got a deal going with the authors of Flashtuts+ whereby I write articles and tutorials for them. It’s good as it gets more coverage than just putting them here and it means that I get lots of exposure too.

I’ve currently had two published, Understanding the PureMVC Open Source Framework and Using the YouTube Player API with ActionScript 3.0 and a third one should be published soon on creating a simple YouTube Search and Play gadget.

When it comes to expanding on the tutorials, errata and updates, I’ll always publish them here. I’ll also be putting up snippets of code and just little tips here and there.

And of course, any code that I do that’s useful but it’s big enough for a tutorial, I’ll stick it up on here!

So bare with me, there’ll be lots of content coming up very very shortly!
