Re: MORE Flash / Real Audio

[Shawn Anderson]

If you know how to embed the RealAudio player, you'd know that the buttons

are there only for those who don't want to bother to create their own.

Check out Radio SonicNet (www.sonicnet.com/station). They're using

RealAudio much the same way your Shockwave audio solution www.platform.net. 


This is embedded RealAudio. Notice the buttons. You can use any button you

wish to run an embedded RealPlayer. Create your own "ugly" buttons,

whatever, go crazy. You don't even have to have any buttons at all. 


RealFlash plays through the RealPlayer, so the same possibilities

(challenges, whatever) exist for that, as well.
