moshi mosh

stuck in the middle with you!

all good okay I'm just leaving this open as I take this lap top with me to work

she'll fill ya in

I shall see you in about 25 min

I remember that you create simple inworld shopping windows to the admin chat before...and we had the hessitation to work on this coz we already had a 3D programmer to work with us on that. However after months and months of nothing from him, we decided to move on and see if we can work it out with you

this is what we've worked with him so far, shame that this has to go into trash can

http://myneverland.altervista.org/uvd/

what you came up with actually very brilliant...so simple that makes it brilliant. Just link each catalogue display to the actual catalogue page, for that single item only. M can make it

so when you're back, lets have more talk about this

now I'm at work

hope this is going through and there are no spinning wheels

okay

so... let me find one that I made.

okay http://www.mayhemunited.com/rlc/onlineshop/purchasewindows/femalebootsloaders.html

what I did first was attach a loader, that opens has the url for the actual file

that loads first since it takes a bit to load, but this could be due to the fact that I put the images in the flash file and not loaded them external

its very clean, I like it

mmk...now, can you make it SINNNNG?

now I've recently discovered that indesign can create flash files

I love your boots

well, lemme ask if you've ever heard of/seen/worked with XML

and they have a lot of the action script loaded in by simply clicking

I've worked with xml like 10 years ago

its close to html

what about using it in flash?

yeah I have before but like I said 10 years ago so some things have changed.

in a sense we need like a gallery that loads from an xml database

your archaic...aren't you

yah

sometimes

i'd provide an XML feed of pictures, information, etc

and you'd basically load it and use it

now... if it loads the images from uvd catalogue, do they get multiple images, and what about all the images that are not the same size?

and you'd have to take in URL parameters in the form of

http://url/flash.swf?something=one&other=2

that's up to you and your design

i can send tons of info to you

we'd agree on the XML spec

you and I will work on the display design

okay cool Im reading the url right now

brilliant

you are 3000% farther so far than what we had before

ok, so I'll start proofin' an XML format for your approval

and we want you to make an assload off of this

like, uber assload

unless you wanna run your advertisements on it

okay cool I'll start with some basic design and then let saki get her red pen out and tell me what to do

nope I don't need any

the catalogue ads, i was thinkin', could be superimposed on the inworld displays

but, that'll be up to y'all

I can send you ticket to HK for a holiday visit

and at the same time, she'll give me a ticket to canada for a visit

oh gotcha, but if I was a designer I might be sad about that because say person comes to my shop and I want them to buy, but then the person is looking and sees something better in an ad and then decides not to buy from me

and then I will fly to USA so we all swamping flat!

haha, well I need a pass port first

mmk, good point...gooooood point

ok, so what do you think jarb?

you think you can do this with us?

cause i do

and she does

yeah I think we can totally figure it out. Me weakness is backend coding and you are a god with it

-blush-

no i'm not

....

ok, i am

well to me you are!

we're a good team, many designer with an engineer that have 5-man skills

ok, i'll prep an xml for your red ink, and you can get something for her red ink

and this is basically what I have drafted up for tallie...I'm gonna send you here and see what we can improve from it

and when you got the time, send me a crossdomain.xml so the XML can be read OK

sent file "flash_tallie copy.jpg"

okay cool

now I just shoved one of my images in for now

but something simple like that?

the girl went to bed

no worries it can wait

I'm going to add a next image button as well

and then start looking into xml for it

or rather how to add it to have xml for it

i've been draftin' it

mmk

woots

i'll try to provide a sample xml that you can save somewhere to read and test

search might be a pain in the ass though

...not really

all good then

you would just requery the xml with whatever they wanted to search with

and i'd return new XML results for you to use

cool

Basic XML Format document:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Sf66hL517cxpiAC-sqDeeztckrVAzRwGSUacIrzUEx8/edit?hl=en_US

bah have to do some actual work at work.

I'll get back to this after and learn some more stuff

mmk, coooooooooool

can't open the link

cause...it was hours ago

and it's prolly worked on or something

okie

nothing really works yet but was seeing about the look of it and what we need to add to it
