Flash Development

History

Development is now done using Flash with ActionScript 3 (some of these older projects were build using ActionScript 2). When creating elements I try to make them as usable/reusable as possible by having as much of the content as possible being pulled in from external sources like XML, TXT, and flashVars. This enables not only me, but clients to update their own content without having to edit and republish the FLA. This approach also allows me to update and edit the Flash piece and supply updated SWF files to clients that won't overwrite their content changes.

  This reusable slide show element is scaleable by changing the width/height in the HTML, and pull the data it needs from the XML file pointed to from the flashVars.

I have created a few Flash interfaces for some PHP based web programs for gamers. They use modified PHP pages from the original installation that generate custom XML files that hold the data they use. They also get some of their settings via flashVars so that the one SWF can be used multiple times on the same page, each pulling information for a different game server.
