Putting it all together Posted by William Fitzgibbon , 23 February 2010 at 1:02 AM, in

This week I'm working on adding all the flash components I've been working on together. I am connecting them with navigation buttons to load and unload them. I have also created the map for the 'explore' section where the user can select where in the they want to see. Hopefully I'll have enough done and working error free by friday for the presentation for the first prototype.

Front-End Posted by William Fitzgibbon , 17 February 2010 at 12:14 PM, in

I have been working on the front end a bit this week, I have improved the main interface and started the html code for it. I have also switched it (index.swf) to action script 3.0. I got code to replace the tweening I did in AS2.0 to move around the 'plans' , the AS3.0 code simplifies the process by using the transitions and easing classes.

Added functionality to carousel so when you click on the building the others fade away and information on that building is displayed - I did this using only code.The information is coming from external xml

Problem Solved! Posted by William Fitzgibbon , 05 February 2010 at 12:29 AM, in

Solved the problem of loading images into placeholders to replace old building with new. They are being loaded from an external folder - this cuts down on loading time for the user - the next step is to have them change dynamically based on user votes.
