FlexibleFactory

Some of our readers might have noticed a slightly downbeat tone to our recent posts, especially concerning everyone’s favourite web player! Here’s a more positive post to put the record straight.

Things have been a little quiet here at FlexibleFactory over the last year or so because the team have been busy with the launch of our new website over at TunaMedia Ltd.

Although we’ve kept the Flash content fairly discreet, it really deserves pride of place on the site. Without the Flash Player, this project would not have been possible. Even though we’ve been through a bumpy ride together, now that everything on the site is (quite literally) singing in harmony it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to radiotuna.com. Search thousands of free online radio stations by artist or genre… we’re pretty sure you’ll like it!

…and, despite the bumps and bruises, we still love you, Flash!

Over at tunamedia.co.uk, we’ve released a demo of Flash movie playing Shoutcast streams using the new Sound API features available in Flash Player 10. Take a look.

[The contents of this article are now incorrect. We've been using the players in this package and this one for linux now.]

The infomation in a previous post about the location of the standalone debug player for Flash Player 10 is now incorrect as Adobe deleted some locations from the Flex subversion repository around the start of the month.

The player 10 debug versions can now be found here:

As far as I can tell (I’ve only checked Windows standalone and Windows plugin, not the activex version), they’re at version 10,0,0,591, released yesterday. The browser plugin installed is a debug version, which will be handy.

Today we completed a huge step in the formation of the FlexibleFactory brand and are delighted to announce the formation of ‘Flexible Factory Ltd‘, our new company.
