several communication methods in it’s own “Vandalize Service”

This was a prototype for a FaceBook app, designed by the UX ( User eXperience) designers at speakTECH back in 2007. I created the back end and front end, making it functional based on some nice specs from the team. The back end was it’s own remoting service called “VandalizeService”.

MP3 Player

Stereo output level display
Spectrum Display
Volume Control
Balance Control
Stop, Play, Pause, Previous & Next Track
Loop feature
Time / position display
Flash Remoting based playlist, autogenerated

This version was an extension to the original version I made, adding the spectrum display. To avoid copyright issues, I grabbed some royalty-free music clips off the web and put them in a folder. The PHP getDirectory call in PortfolioService grabs all the mp3s in a folder and returns info about them to generate the playlist and play the music. see it
