I am creating a project which involves the visualisation of signals and timeline, so I am looking for a charting program which allows me to zoom in and zoom out and with additional functionality e.g. drag and drop or highlight the area.
I have no preference whether it should be WinForms or Web apps, and I am fine to program in either Flash or Silverlight. So I would like to see if you guys can recommend some tools for use.
I am developing an application which contains controls like tree,grid and chart. I personally feel silverlight is the best choice for it because its got strong third party controls from Telerik. But, as flash is much widespread compared to silverlight, some members in the design team is supporting flash. To my suprise, I haven't seen any third party controls like Telerik(silverlight) in flash which supplies controls like Tree, Grid and Chart.
I just want to know whether I am right in supporting Silverlight.
I am trying to create an interactive org chart for a customer. When you click on a box, I need it expand as a drop-down, but I would like create it such that if the user clciks on another box, the previous box animates back to the closed position before the new one opens.
View 2 Replieshere's what I need to do: I need to have a pie that is not 100% complete circle, like a pacman facing north. That area is static and represents a data range from 0.00 to 1200.00. I need to have another slice over it that dynamically reflects input data from 0.00 to 1200.00. In the example below I have the static max. data range as blue and the dynamic data range as orange showing a data input of 6.70:
All I find online is pie charts that are full circles and use percentages instead of numerical data.Attached is a test.fla (CS3 format) with the above shapes.
My company have a web application product for distribution planning and scheduling. An important part of it is a gantt chart component where user can fine tune the schedules. Currently the gantt chart component is pure javascript+dhtml.I am currently looking into the possibility of moving to Flex to get richer interactivity and generally nicer UI.
The question is: is there any good interactive gantt chart component for Flex?By "interactive" I mean that user can interact with the gantt chart and modify data using it, as opposed to just seeing it as part of a reporting use case.
I was thinking about creating a level editor for the flash games I work on but can't decide on how the data should be held.My original idea was to program the map editor in Python and save the data to an XML document that can then be read by the Flash application.However, after spending quite awhile figuring out how to save XML files through python I could not for the life of me get a actionscript read these files.So, what would be the best way of creating something like a level editor? Whichever language I choose to build it in, what filetype should I save the data to that will be easy for flash to interperit into an array or other data structure at run time?

View 1 RepliesI am having a hard time concepting how to structure the current project I have been tasked with. I wanted to make this dynamic, as its for a school that will add or change course sequences. I was thinking of having several movie clips, with one movie clip class that loads in xml information, but then the problem is how can i keep track of the other movie clips and animate precisely one course to another while being interactive?
I know that I could simply draw everything up in a movieclip within flash, but I thought there could be a way to go through an xml file, look at how many <class></class> tags their were, create movieclips based on how many of those are present and pass the xml information within the class to display to the user. I need to use a tree structure, with the user being able to click to each node along the tree and recall the information, when they click I need something visually interesting to happen between the 2 nodes.
So in my mind I am thinking
1.) document class,
2.) reusable movieclip class (card template, with text objects)
3.) a class that takes the xml and passes it to the movieclip??
Its one thing to want interactivity and draw everything, but to make it dynamic to be easily updatable. Is there a way to put a tween in a class to reuse and precisely where to play?

I'm looking for a tool to create just the skins for different kinds of Flex 4 components.I'd like to be able to create the components myself and have the designer/artist do the skin, but I don't think they'd like the idea of doing them by writing MXML files.

Can someone tell me what am i missing? i am very frustrated as I have finished encoding, upload, cataloging my videos and now I am stuck at the last step.
I found Vectorlight which is quite good, but are there any tutorials or books about doing cool effects with silverlight. I'm after for resources focused more for a designing and presentation. Mostly the books about Silverlight is focused on doing boring business applications like making grids and forms.

I need to create flash interactive animation for one one of my regular clients, which should look and work similar to example in Nike store Customize:LinkThis is how my clients product (shirt) should look like and what sections should be editable: [URL]Basically it should work this way:1. End user chooses some element of shirt which he would like to edit (for example collar)2. When he clicks on that element, popup windows shows offering two main options: to change color and graphic (texture or pattern), same as on nike store customize example3. After user changes one section (collar) he goes to other section (lets say sleeve) and so on4.
User should be able to zoom in or zoom out that shirt and also if it is possible to rotate it in 4-5 positions5. At the end it should be able to save that work (and load it if he wants to later ) and be able to print it.I have made many animations, games, banners and similar using Macromedia Flash MX and Adobe Flash so I am not a flash newbie but this is a first time I am dealing with this type of work. I know that there is no step by step tutorial for this kind of custom interactive animation but I need some help and and advice how to create these three first steps (1. 2. 3). Regarding steps (4.) and (5.) I think I could realize it (zoom in, zoom out, rotate movieclip, save in database and print screen), because I ahd some previous experince regarding this part.
I'm looking to display some data in the form of charts (line graphs, pie charts etc). I also require them to have a certain amount of interactivity (pan, zoom etc.).
For these requirements, will Adobe Flex be enough for me, or would I need to use flash?
A little research told me that building charts in Flex is easy, but can they be made interactive without using Flash?
I am a member of a clan on a popular gaming website. I'd like to make fully interactive flash videos detailing certain game concepts.

View 0 RepliesI have a website which i have built and work on alot, and i would like to create a sort of interactive map (the site is a surf webcam site, and i would love this map to be of the uk, and when you click on certain areas, it zooms in in a sort of google earth type thing, then showing locations of my cameras which the users can click to go to the correct page.) Now I did make something like this ( without the spinny stuff) using jquery and hiding divs etc, but I think to get the best effect would be to make some sort of flash applet. Now I am a complete begineer with flash.
View 1 RepliesI've been working creating an interactive display map for a client. I've figured out the controls I'd like to use for moving the map, but I'm having trouble with the zooming features.
What I'd like to do is have the user click on the "+" button to zoom in and the "-" button to zoom out. The problem is the map is not centered when the user clicks either button?
Any ideas how I can fix this, or improve it?
What I try to make in Flash is some kind of interactive slideshow, with .swf files instead of static images. I want to have kind of control pannel with buttons numbered from 1 to n, always visible at the front layer. In the background, there will be swf files that change, for example, every 30 seconds. And each change consists of fade in and fade out effect of the swf container (and so the loaded swf file itself). During the swf changes, the buttons should change too by switching their states from 0 to 1 and so on. User should be able to skip to any frame he wants by clicking the corresponding button.This is the code I already have:
Code:
// Preparation
button1_mc.framenumber_txt.text = "1";

For the last couple of weeks, i've been trying to develope an interactive yearbook for my school. Im using an external XML, and trying to push all the data in the xml to assigned arrays. Also im trying to use a for loop to create empty movie clips. This empty clips will serve as "pages" if the total number of students is greater than 25. Also, on these pages im trying to attachMovie to a specific x, and Y, as you'll see in my source code.
Other than that, i can not figure out where im going wrong.When i first try to publish it, it gives me an error saying that the path is undefined, and will not load ANYTHING. if i make a few changes, it just sits there blanky.
