Raise your glasses and voices! A Karaoke lyrics scroller in JavaScript
<p>One of the things that fascinates me lately is the interaction of JavaScript and Flash and how you can make content available in HTML that normally would get buried deep inside a Flash movie. The most pressing matter to fix is how to caption online video in an accessible manner and we’ll have a go at this at Scripting Enabled next week.
Meanwhile it is pretty cool to see in what roundabout ways people come up with really cool solutions that point very much in the right direction. Thai from Thailand (no, I did not make this up) has created a Karaoke lyrics scroller using Scott Schiller’s SoundManager2 and lyrics in the StepMania format.
Get into the groove and try it out yourself.

I can’t stop singing :) great app.
It won’t work, since iphone doesn’t support flash
All this needs is flash tags.
Very funny idea :)
Nice! It looks pretty cool.

Not as cool looking though.
Great idea and even better implementation! sk89g’s is nice as well. Give it a try. Em, the iPhone 3G supports Flash, doesn’t it?
