This is just a quick and dirty example of a MP3 search engine. This searches Seeqpod and then brings the results back. Most of all it lets you download the MP3 straight from page. I tried to get some other search engines like Mooza, but they were way too slow. I would love some suggestions of sources and any other functionality you guys can think of. Anyways download the source and check out the demo and enjoy.

Enjoy!

If you haven’t seen Viewzi, go check it out right now. Its a great way to view your search results. My favorite view is the “song view” made by Joshua Sterns. Well I saw this and thought everyone should have a beautiful and easy to use interface like that for their own content. So I made one and am now releasing it to you. Its very simple and it resizes to fit almost any size. Make it full screen or make it part of a page. All you have to do is make a playlist that is structed like this:

<?xml version=”1.0″ ?>
<playlist>
<song title=”Chocobo Piano Loop” artist=”DJ_XBrav” src=”mp3s/NG5402.mp3″ />
<song title=”House Of Kalm” artist=”ProfitZ” src=”mp3s/NG7890.mp3″ />
</playlist>

And pass it in through the Flashvars through the HTML. Here is an example of that code:

<param name="flashvars" value="xmlpath=mp3_playlist.xml" />

Still not sure how to do it then check out the example and view the source of the page. You can also download the source below and change it as much as you want.

• MP3 Playlist (1081)

Enjoy!

So this is a very basic 3D XML Website with absolutely no design skills put into it, just an example to get started on 3D in Flash. I know there is 3D in Flash CS4, but many people don’t even have CS4 yet. So this version is for them, the beginners with CS3. This reads from an xml where it loads an image for each item you put in the XML, when the menu item is clicked it loads the SWF content specified for that node in the XML.

Please post in the comments what features or interactivity you would like to see in the next version.

Enjoy!

As a warning this application is in Alpha stages, but I love to show people the capabilities of Flex and Weber Design Labs. This application searches YouTube, Twitter and Blogger then shows the data in a brain storming visualization. It started off as an experiment and grew to an application that is useful for research, opinions, finding what is the buzz, etc. So enjoy this free service.

Here are a few features I plan to rollout in the future:

• Search Digg Data
• Enable History management
• Save Content to Lists and Then Email Lists To Anyone

If you have any suggestions please make a comment. I would love feedback. And yes, I know the name is stupid and as soon as I have a name I will work on the logo.
