FLASH: Traffic report

[Ricardo Madrazo]

Hi Flashers,


I'm currently working on a demo website for the Mexico City transportation

department.  The object is to have an updated traffic report for certain

major avenues in the city available via web. The client wants to do it in

Flash.


My question is this:  Could you look at the demo, see what kind of info is

generated, and then let me know if Flash Generator will allow me to do

this?  I have some doubts as to generating the updated info from a

database... what kind of database would be needed?


The address is:


http://200.33.252.200/stv


It's not a full-working demo, just some areas, so you would need to go to

the northwest sector in the main map, and from there, select the first two

circuits that appear on the "Circuitos" list to see what kind of info we

want to generate.  I would assume that the action is a "Load Movie" on

Level #1 (as well as "UnLoad Movie - Level #1 to clear the previous movie),

and Generator would have to see what kind of .swf to load, depending on the

transit weight on that particular avenue.


I don't know if I'm going about this the right way, so any and all guidance

would be greatly appreciated.


BTW, the client also wanted the animated banners in the bottom frame to be

in Flash, but I advised that that would be too many streams (5) and frames

(9) and would take too many resources on the user's computer and there was

danger of crashing... so we made the ad banners into gifs and loaded them

all in a single frame.


Thanks again to all who take the time.


Saludos,


Ricardo Madrazo
