Create an interactive flash timeline populated by XML data

Cancelled Posted Feb 6, 2006 Paid on delivery
Cancelled Paid on delivery

This project will require someone with solid flash skills and the time to devote to the project this week. Ideally, I would like the project to be finished by the 13th. If that is not possible then I would like to have a well on its way to working and at least partially populated timeline by the 13th.

I scanned a family’s mementos, pictures, audio clips, and video and I need to enter them in a time line which is accessible on the web and can be copied to a DVD or cd and played on a computer.

I want the family to be able to scroll along the time line with a slider and stop at an event title, thumb nail or link, be able to click it and have the picture with caption, video clip or audio file open and play in a separate window – next to the event or below the main timeline. At some places there will be many pictures so having a scrolling picture bar or embedded slideshow open up in the window would be helpful.

E-mailed updates will be required each morning to display your progress on the project. I am available through e-mail or Yahoo chat.

This time line will be populated with the XML data generated by a program called timeline creator. This link shows you what the XML data that is generated will look like (in general) The data is being entered now.

If you want to look at their entire timeline program in JAVA and Flash it is open source and you could possibly just heavily modify thier program It used JAVA and flash. You can find the program at:

I have compiled several examples of Flash timelines along with some tutorials of how to make them. Feel free to use those as a starting point or create from scratch.

.net magazine example part 1 and part 2 How to build a flash timeline populated by XML. (download the pdf at the site)

[login to view URL];articleid=17980&subsectionid=499&subsubsectionid=175

[login to view URL];articleid=17981&subsectionid=499&subsubsectionid=175

This is a good format as well, I like the way the lines extend from the timeline itself, but I don’t have the code for it

Here is another example of a flash timeline, but without instructions. It has a timeline at the top with the only the titles of the event. When you roll over the event the information appears below.

I am attaching a file that has a cool flash timeline with actionscript but I don’t know if it would be adaptable to the amount of pictures and data I have. (interact)
