Hello List,
I did a Flash based music player for a client, you can find it here:
http://musex.fi/midem2006/
(Because of some constraints I had to do some compromises on things like
accessibility and graceful degradation, lets not concentrate on those
issues this time :-)
The client wants to use similar player on some other projects too, and
this brought me to an question I'd love to hear your views on: use
frames or a pop-up?
The idea is, that music can play uninterrupted while the visitor browses
the site - so the player can't be in the same frame/window as the rest
of the content.
First time round I ended up using frames, one reason was that it was
quicker to do reliably (not having to care for pop-up blockers), another
was that this being a project site, possible bookmarking or search
engine problems wouldn't create long term grief.
The second time I would either find a perfectly reliable pop-up solution
or seamless & problem free frame solution. Any ideas or pointers?
cheers,
.k
