Re: FLASH: midi

[Peter Colman]

Hi Peter,


I agree with Nigel that Beatnik provides maximum interactivity with minimal

file size. But it's also possible simply to call midi from elsewhere, by

loading a page that embeds a midi file. I do it at

http://www.dartfrogmedia.com/rickfrnd by using a hidden frame. I create a

frameset with 2 frames, top frame is set to rows=100%, bottom frame is set

to rows=* so it's invisible. Then I use Flash in the top frame to load html

pages into the bottom frame. The pages have midi files embedded as you'd

normally embed them in any HTML page. I use a two-note midi file with

autostart set to false to empty the midi player (whatever midi plug-in the

user has) and create silence, if that's what I need.
