Hammer time. this is the lastFm dynamicBackgrander for support mailto: detapa@gmail.com

AS2 .0 + Flash 8 and CS3

this is a really easy movieClip based widget to work and play with. all you have to do is copy lfmBackCloud movieClip, get in that movieClip by doubleClicking it, change the thumbnail sizes and lastfm username parameters on the actions layer at the 10th to 15th line. what you will get is a most dynamic background for your website that adoptes to your music listening habits.:) nice innit?

kudos to me on this one.

thumbnail sizes var thumbSize:Number = 75;

your username at lastfm var yourUserName:String = “Badbwai”;

the actionScript 2.0 is well Commented and i’m here(detapa@gmail.com) to help with any question u got.

if you want to change patterns and/or add to them, the pattern pngs are also included., replace them, update them in the fla and reexport your swf. the default pattern can also be set at the same location: lfmBackCloud movieClip, on the 20th line by selecting a number from 1 to 6.

be original, copy me in your own way. Love, peace and Justice.

have fun go mad.

You state that patterns can be changed; assume (dangerous…;) that the colors and/or thumbnails themselves can be changed also???

Creative work – Kudos to ya detapa..

hello aspivey,

the thumbnails change dynamically regarding your music listening habits tracked by your last.fm account (assuming you have one).

(this feature actually uses top albums method of the last.fm API , which tracks the top listened albums of the user and return the thumbnails of those albums)

the colors are easily changed by an included movieClip tinting function. You can even tint the movieClip without actionScript and it’s all done.

thanks by the way:) sorry for being that rude about this.:)

Thanks for the feedback. I understand how this is working now that I see the fla; however it is not ponying up for me using my account login (I do have one) . Do I need my own unique API key for it to work for me. Seems like the key you’ve used in the fla would be set for your own account and login…

Just curious. If necessary I’ll try to get my own key assigned.

Thx

hello aspivey,

the item does not require you to apply for another API key.

on my end it works with any given valid username at last.fm.

all you have to do is replace the username at the 14th line of the lfmBackCloud movieClip and publish the swf:

var yourUserName:String = “Badbwai”;

please contact me via detapa@gmail.com if any assistance is needed.

thanks for the purchase :)

I initially had some problems with this but they were due to my misunderstanding of how lastFM works.

detapa provided excellent support and got me zoned in.

1) Basically, you need to subscribe to lastFM (free and great custom radio).

2) Play some songs – my custom page came up automatically at approx. 20 songs – your page will continue to be refreshed and change as your song list grows.,

3) If you desire to have a custom page w/o growing a song list then you can modify the API request (line 85) to change the type of artist/album/track return: just a couple of methods listed below

library.gettracks – this will give you immediately a page built from all tracks in your library.

library.getartists – A paginated list of all the artists in a user’s library, with play counts and tag counts.

user.getoptracks – Get the top tracks listened to by a user. You can stipulate a time period. Sends the overall chart by default.

This is really a creative effort and easy to mod – 5 Stars

Hi,

Nice file! Is it possible to remove those lines and have a clean view?

Posted 2 months ago

hi,

the lines are easy to remove, just comment out the necessary line that calls the function in the fla file which is well commented.
