Can you create a flash app for me?

Geoffh — Sat, 02 Jun 2007 22:53:51 -0800

Hey there, I've been working on an idea for a flash based app. I have a team of people who usually work on this stuff for me, but this project seems to be well over their heads. They've tried to create it using asp.net and ajax but have not had any luck getting it to work. So here's the scoup: I need to hire someone (or a team) to build this for me from scratch. This will be an ongoing project. we can negotiate a fee to release a basic version of the app, then build on it from there (paying you for each new step). The app will be embeddable on any web page and will function very similarly to this one, which you can also see in action here on this page as well. This app will not be a box.net clone. Just wanted something to show you to give you a general idea. This is how I see it working: The app should have the ability to display text, links, play embedded or uploaded music/video, show pics etc. It can also be resized as a user wishes, then we generate code so they can embed elsewhere. We can have users register to change and update their app as well as having casual users just input their stuff on the main page of the site, generate the code, and take off with it without registering to use it (but they wouldn't be able ot change or update it). I would also like to see users login and change/update their app directly from any other of our apps on the web. Something like this (click the small blue box under the "smartlinks" section) You'll see the screen go dark, and a box pop up. We can use the same principal to log in. This way, the user can update their app from any other of our apps out there (including their own). They would never have to go to the actual site to change something. That, in a nutshell, will be the basic version. I would also need a simple web site designed around it. After that, we can add feedback / comments / rating mechanisms (seperate project), along with a few different "skins" or looks for the "app". But the basic version first. I was quoted $899 USD by the original team to do this. Not sure how accurate that amount is because they've always given me decent prices on everything I've done with them. Doesn't matter to me what country you work from. I would like to see references and examples of past work before I decide on hiring someone for the project. You can learn more about me from: myspace I also run and/or contribute to these sites: Notary gift Fuzznut Working with me will be easy. I know exactly what I want from this project. Feel free to contact me at anytime.

Flash developer

jellicle — Sat, 16 Dec 2006 15:39:29 -0800

Well, I thought this was closed, but the developer I had in mind backed out, so here goes again. Needed: a Flash developer proficient in Flash 8 (or even Flash 9). Ideally, you have done previous work parsing XML files with Flash (XML class, in either Actionscript 2 or 3). You understand trigonometry. You understand bitmap image manipulation with Flash (BitmapData class). If you don't understand these things, you have a can-do attitude about learning them quickly. You are intelligent. Job involves parsing an XML file for data, and using provided map symbols/graphics to create a dynamic map for an online strategy wargame. I mildly prefer someone in the Toronto area so I can discuss this in person. I am looking for someone with immediate or nearly-immediate availability. While this is a one-shot gig, there will almost certainly be some follow-on work if you are good.

Flash developer for contract job

jellicle — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 13:11:37 -0800

Seeking skilled Flash developer for maybe two weeks of work. Must-have: significant skill in PROGRAMMING Flash applications. This is not a design-and-make-it-pretty job. Rough outline of tasks: take in an XML data file, parse it, and generate a complex map for the user from the data provided. User should be able to pan, zoom, and manipulate the resulting map. Artwork will be provided. You will need to understand trigonometry to complete this task. (It's a hex-grid map, and you have to calculate hex placement. This should not be daunting to anyone who has completed high school mathematics.) Prefer candidates local to Toronto to meet and discuss this in person. Willing to consider remote candidates. While this is a one-shot gig, there will almost certainly be some follow-on work if you are good. In your response, please include your availability, and a detailed response as to why you are capable of completing this project. (What do you know about parsing XML with Actionscript? What do you know about trigonometry?)
