Flash Timeline

Thom is working on the town website and as part of the updates, he's doing a timeline. Now, Thom has decided to go the image route for this timeline, and the moment I saw it, I exclaimed "THOM, NO! DO IT IN FLASH!!" Thom refused.

So that just proves that Thom doesn't like flash. WHAT KINDA PERSON DOESN'T LIKE FLASH????

Personally, I LOVE flash. It's amazing! Flash is the best thing to come along since PHP and MySql. So the other day I was sitting down at the computer, bored out of my mind. I decided to try my hand at my suggestion to Thom, and do the timeline in flash.

At first, I was going to just use pieces of Thom's image and animate them, but I decided not to. Thus, I started from scratch, and just used the info on Thom's image.

I showed the early stage version of this to Thom, and guess what. He didn't like it. Surprise, surprise. But that doesn't eliminate the fact that I love flash.

So here's the timeline so far. Some of the dates aren't done yet, because Thom isn't finished the other image that brings us up to the present day. After that's released (can you smell the anticipation?) I'll clean it up a bit, add the rest of the stuff, and conclude it with some final features I have in mind.

Keep Lookin Up
