12, 2010 Figure it's time for another international edition of Flashnewz. Sorry, but my lack of multilingual skills are going to keep things in English today. Not unless you all want to read me butcher Spanish with unconjugated verbs. I tend to feature a lot of entertainment sites every week because I'm pretty much a movie, music, and video game nut. I suppose we're due for a little bit of a cultured flash experience this week. It's not just a revisiting to some countries around the world, but it's been a while since we've focused on some developer sites. With the exception of the final site, which is some brainless flash game fun, there are some very engaging portfolios in our package today. Holla at Stefan this week as he's hyping the near-release of the Open Source Media Framework which should great for those into integrating video into their sites. Mark Rivera For any site suggestions or general musings, gimme a shout at mark@flashnewz.com And don't forget to check out our Flash Directory |

Source Media Framework 0.9 Release  By Stefan Richter Version 0.9 of the Open Source Media Framework has just been released. For those who haven't heard about OSMF (formerly codenamed Strobe) yet, it is an ActionScript based framework to help facilitate the easy development of media players running on the Flash Platform. The framework is open source and supports not only video and audio playback but also other asset types such as images, SWFs and the like. It could develop into a de-facto standard for Flash based media player development. With the 0.9 Sprint release the team have effectively locked the APIs in order to prepare for version 1.0. Some of the new features in 0.9 include support for HTTP streaming (a sign of things to come), a SMIL plug-in and an OSMF Sample Player. There's also a comprehensive Developer's Guide in PDF format. If you have plans to take a closer look at OSMF then now would be a good time as the 1.0 release is getting closer.
