It’s been a while since ive updated this as ive been busy on a few projects ive got going over the summer but i thought i’d post up a few examples of recent work.
This project was for my 3rd term coursework, in collaboration with Ben Lill. We had to come up with an idea for an interactive display for a travel agents. We chose to construct an interactive map in flash, using actionscript 3. The hotspots on the map, when clicked, show information about hotels in that particular city.
It is connected to a mysql database and using an xml string inside AS3 we were able to pull information out of the database and display it within the flash environment. This system would allow for easy updating of the information as the database would just need to be updated and the flash file would automatically read those changes and display them when asked. It is on a constant loop so every ten seconds it refreshes itself and would display any changes made to the database.
Here are a few screenshots, i could upload a live version of the project but it would crash due to the database being hosted on a secure university server that cannot be accessed publically.
I shall work on re creating the database on my webspace so i can upload a working version of this project for all to see it in its full glory, but for now take a look at the screen shots above and use your imagination….
