Notes
You probably don't want to see the HTML and JavaScript
that it took to generate this presentation.
Altogether, about 80 lines of gobbledegook.
Any little thing that you want to change
would probably require several trial-and-error
tweaks before it would settle down and behave.
(At least that's been my experience so far.)
Flowplayer is an open-source player based on
Flash technology that is intended to be
a workable replacement for Adobe Flash.
This means that it is mainly intended to be
a presentation vehicle for video clips.
The only format that it will accept for
audio clips is .mp3.
I wanted to try Flowplayer because
I thought it might be a replacement for
Flash in that it would be a container
for presenting your sound clips
without exposing the underlying files
to the user. What I have learned is that
the JavaScript-triggered player
on Page 3 does a better job.
According to the documentation,
I should have been able to do the little slides
that appear on top of the background picture
by inserting HTML directly into the plug-in
that displays things on top of the video/audio clip.
But I was never able to make that work adequately.
Instead, I used a drawing program to make static
.png images that contain the text I wanted,
then inserted those images into the player.
As a proof of concept, this work-around was OK,
but it completely defeats the purpose of HTML.
I also wanted to have the slides fade in and out
rather than change abruptly, and I wanted to make the
pale background go away after the presentation was done.
The capabilities are there--they have demonstrations on
their web site--but I couldn't make it work for me.
