Hi to all!
You can find online my latest work, made in Egolab, for Activision.
Guitar Hero is the site about all the products of the Guitar hero brand, featuring games in which you play a fake guitar, trying to reproduce the skills of famous and wicked guitar men.
I developed some useful actionscript stuff that took my time but it is well worth it! In the site you can find a great news and events management concept, a extras gallery working with desaturation (made with caurina tweener) and a bunch of playlists, loading external content in xml and even preloading the real mp3.
Some other people worked on this project. So thanks for the collaboration to Alessandro Balasco (cms developing), Marco Fresta (art direction and design), Alessandro Reali (video making and adapting), Alberico Bartoccini (content animation and organization).
Visit the site if you want to experience the hard work we made. I hope you like it.
See you
Hi all!
Have you ever wanted to make your personal mp3 available on your site to listen? Well, you could say, there are plenty of free swf mp3 player out there on the net, i can use one of them! Yes, you are right! But now there is one more, mine! :D
This is a Flash mp3 player. You can fill your favourite playlist with your favourite mp3s and use it on your site for free!
Just download the zip package, unpack it, fill the tracks folder with your mp3, edit the tracklist.xml file with your own mp3 and the game is done! :) Very easy, indeed.
Additionally, you can edit the fla and make it your own personal player, if you want to! Customize the graphics, paying particular attention not to change the code! (unless you really want to :D)
One explanation on the xml format.
When you will open it, it will be something like this:
<tracklist path="http://www.fuoridalcerchio.net/flashexamples/as2player/tracks/">
<song title="Physique Du Role - (Ancora) 48h" url="physique_du_role_-_ancora_48h.mp3" />
<song title="Physique Du Role - Concreto" url="physique_du_role_-_concreto.mp3" />
<song title="Physique Du Role - Domino" url="physique_du_role_-_domino.mp3" />
<song title="Physique Du Role - Truman" url="physique_du_role_-_truman.mp3" />
</tracklist>
The path attribute in the first node is the global folder where the player will be catching mp3s. Change it to whatever you want, the path can be absolute or relative. Then simply delete the songs from it and add your own in the following format:
<song title="AUTHOR - TITLE" url="URL_TO_THE_SONG.mp3" />
Because of the sandbox limitations, in Flash players, you want be able to play mp3 that are not in the domain in which you use the player, so maybe you should use a little “crossdomain” or use your own servers.
In the tracklist MovieClip inside the fla, you can change the viewPerPage parameter, that sets how many tracks per page will be displayed.

I will be making an as3 oop version soon, i promise! :D
Enjoy!
Hi all!
Long time i do not update the blog! Sorry for this! I have been absorbed in some projects, and still i am, so for now i only add a simple class i made for on of this projects.
Have you ever seen on the Internet the cool effect of getting letters descrambled out of a coded like text?
Just like this:
Well, if you want to apply the effect on a textfield in your site, simply use this class.
No documentation, for now. The steps to implement this on your site are very simple.
- Create a movieclip with a dynamic textfield named _tf inside. Embed the needed characters.
- In the library, export the movieclip, give it some linkage name and insert ScrambleTextField in the class field.
- Set the text property of the movieclip (that will update the desired text in the textfield), change the interval property to change the interval of the character change update and launch the begin method.
- Publish the movie.
Very simple indeed.
The class simply change the current letter until it is the desired one. The letter array is shuffled on constructor. Anyway, the process was being too long to reach long sentences so i changed the class. Now stops at the fifth iteration, and if the letter is not still the desired one, attach the right letter in the textfield.

See you very soon!
Sorry for the lack of updates in the last period. I have been busy with new projects, that are almost completed. So i am coming back as soon as possible, with new classes and two new tutorials, already written but that have still to be checked.
I would like to thank you all of you for your constant visits! Really, THANK YOU! :)
I will be fully back in about five days, i guess.
see you!
