Flash programmer needed for web application

[toma]

We want to make a front-end flash application to a web-based ringtone editor. The purpose of the editor is to allow the users to crop an mp3 file.

- User can upload a mp3 from computer/url (to our back-end – outside this flash application)

- Two moveable bars (on a timeline) to adjust start and stop (including a real-time preview)

- The flash application will then report data (start and stop) to our back-end.

We can do the GUI ourselves.

The price is not the most important - the time is. Please reply asap if you think you can help.

Is that even possible, to crop an mp3 that is on a server?

I don't think you can crop an MP3 file on the server side unless you re-record it somehow...
But you sure can mimick it by have it playing from the certain position and stopping at the certain position...

Of course, that method won't work well if the MP3 file is big...

That's my 2 cents... ;)

It would be possible, but you'd need a server application to do it, probably C# or Java.

Realistic, how feasible is this? How much time would it take to build an mp3 editor in C# and incorporate it with flash. (I'm not postive Java would be up to it). Are we talking thousands of dollars?

In VB, I can build an MP3 with all the bells and whistles in like 25 minutes. Thats with a GUI and all that good stuff. Now we're just talking application, no GUI, just a call. They are already going to know the start point and stop point in which to crop. It would be easiest to crap off the ends. I'm sure C# has an MP3 library...almost every language does now. few hours at most.
