CoffeeCup - HTML Editor, Flash & Web Design Software

We've recently discovered how to incorporate our software into the now infamous MySpace site. It requires some small modifications, but once you understand the concept, it's not really that difficult.

MySpace requires all URLs to be absolute but the Web Jukebox creates relative links within the files. What's the difference? In order for the player to display correctly, the paths for any outside file must be changed to an absolute URL (the exact full address on the server) in both the HTML code and the xml file. Another difference is that MySpace only uses the embed tag, so you can completely omit the object tag when inserting your code. Following are examples of the code generated by our software and what MySpace will accept:

Jukebox HTML Code:

<object style="WIDTH: 231px; HEIGHT: 47px;" classid= "clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="CoffeeCup" align="middle"> <param name="movie" value="myjukebox.swf"/> <param name="quality" value="high"/> <param name="scale" value="noscale"/> <param name="salign" value="lt"/> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"/> <embed style="WIDTH: 231px; HEIGHT: 47px;" src="myjukebox.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="CoffeeCup" scale="noscale" salign="lt" align="middle" type= "application/x-shockwave-flash"pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"/></object>

MySpace HTML Code:

<embed src="http://www.yourdomain.com/myjukebox.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="231" height="47" name="CoffeeCup" scale="noscale" salign="lt" align="middle" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />

Jukebox XML File:

jukebox bkimg="myjukebox_files/body.jpg"
rewindbutton btnupimg="myjukebox_files/1.jpg"
ffbutton btnupimg="myjukebox_files/4.jpg"
playbutton btnupimg="myjukebox_files/2.jpg" btndownimg="myjukebox_files/3.jpg"
node file="myjukebox_files/Track 3.mp3"

Edited Jukebox XML for MySpace:

jukebox bkimg="http://www.yourdomain.com/myjukebox_files/body.jpg"
rewindbutton btnupimg="http://www.yourdomain.com/myjukebox_files/1.jpg"
ffbutton btnupimg="http://www.yourdomain.com/myjukebox_files/4.jpg"
playbutton btnupimg="http://www.yourdomain.com/myjukebox_files/2.jpg" btndownimg="http://www.yourdomain.com/myjukebox_files/3.jpg"
node file="http://www.yourdomain.com/myjukebox_files/Track 3.mp3"

Once the edits have been made, MySpace will be able to display and play your Jukebox! You can see an example of a CoffeeCup Web Jukebox at Cesar's MySpace, and the xml file here.
