I’ve just recently handed in an ICA for one of my university modules, Advanced Multimedia Development. The brief was to create a flash application to inspire and enthuse 16-18 year olds into studying music.

Here’s a screenshot of what I came up with;

Bearing in mind that it is a prototype and as such is a little buggy on the ‘Create’ page the link to the project is here: ama prototype

Further Development

My next assignment in the module is to develop the full flash application. Since I haven’t really had a chance to experiment with php & MySql I’m going to use those to store and retrieve the content for the flash app. All of my content (where appropriate) will be loaded in dynamicaly and I’m planning on adding save functionality to the create page. The ‘See’ page (I think it should be ‘Listen’ really) is going to show songs other people have made on the ‘Create’ page.

If I have time I’m also going to add more instruments to the creation page and let you choose how long the song is going to be. Hopefully users should be able to create some quite cool tunes on the finished app.

It’s been three years now since Mozilla announced support for CSS column control and I am yet to see any sites using it. I am aware of course that until there is widespread support for CSS3 and that I shouldn’t expect to see much usage of column-count, column-width and column-gap, but no sites? Surely someone has had a play.
