In an effort to keep things more user-friendly and to make sure you don't miss any of the available visualisations, I decided to enhance the demo player.

This is a follow-up on Visualisations.

Unfortunately, that also resulted in me throwing the concept of the player around and build a proper Flex application. Getting my head around the complete system took me about a day, but once I got my head around it fully (some stretching was required), I was amazed by the Power of FlexBuilder. Hallelujah!

So, here is the next version of the SBMP3. It contains a control panel that allows you to modify all the parameters and also allows you to go fullscreen. Unfortunately, you're still stuck with the samples from my band but I promise to fix that in another update.

One final note: I'm still getting the random security errors. I can't find anything on the web about complete random security errors.

Press the fullscreen button (bottom-right) to enter fullscreen and enjoy the viewer fully. Or, you can open the player full-window so you can play around with height and width ratios.

Adjust the sample frequency depending on the size of the viewport. The smaller the stage, the higher your sample_width should be for maximum effect. The "bubbly" visualisations profit from a little blur and solid fills, especially when viewed fullscreen.

If you find some "sweet settings", be sure to post them in a comment.
