How many frame of Flash will your audio take?
Flash has a finite amount of frames in any given SWF that can be compiled. 16,000 in fact. So how do you know if your streaming audio will fit in a single SWF file? The easiest thing is to put them in different SWF files and call them in one at a time or nest them in movieclips. But if this is not an option for you, here is an easy way to figure it out.
(((Minutes x 60) + seconds) x Frames a second of your Flash)
Say you have 9:27 seconds of audio. How many frames will this take? Well if you do this at 30 frames a second it will be 17,010. (((9 x 60) + 27) x 30 frames a second) Clearly over your limit. Looks like you will have to cut your frame rate. How about 24? That comes out to 13,608 and this is under your limit.

No commentsMac Lion Apps
I love the new Mac Lion operating system. The thing that I can’t figure out is why Apple decided to make Address Book and iCal have these old funky looking UIs to them.
Take a look at the new Mac mail and it’s all nice, gray, minimalistic icons, clean. Same with Safari, iTunes and the App Store itself. In fact most of these Apps are based on the UI component set that Apple gives out with it’s Xcode developer set. Now take a look at the Address Book or iCal. Why make them look like out dated versions of analog products. Are we going to get an iTunes redesign that looks like a radio? or a Quicktime version that looks like a fake television. All the people that would be comforted by these design throw backs won’t be using these applications anyway.
