Eimers Group Neighborhoods Page
For this site I was contracted by Cyber Sytes to produce all of the main flash elements. The header/navigation portion of the page and an interactive neighborhood map. This was to be the first of many interactive maps I would create. I was brought into the team as a flash developer only. Design (including the map and GUI) was done by Eric from CYSY. I only produced and coded the flash.
The map application uses XML as its data source. Including the dots (or locations) name, kind, positioning, link, etc… We included a debug or back-end version of the flash to help the crew at Eimers add the position of a new location. Functionality includes filtering of the data and jump to a specific neighborhood. Control of the map mimics those of most map apps: Pan, Zoom and an interactive preview of the current visible area. The actual map application came out at around 40kb. The map’s background (under 100kb) and XML data (variable) are external.
