We were approached by Marc Moore of Koda Media Group in early July to see if we were interested in working on a BMO interactive web tool that was already launched but needed to be taken to the next level for v2.
We agreed and were put to work on making several changes and updates to an already existing (and extremely well put together) Flash application. Over first two weeks of July we spent many an hour creating new volume sliders, pre-loaders, modifying animation sequences, upgrading graphics and copy and generally having a ball! (Did we say that this site was EXTREMELY well done to begin with?)
The tool is very much like a guided tour of things you need to think about to ensure you have a safe and prosperous retirement. You are guided through it by several videos featuring Dr. Amy D’Aprix who is the BMO Life Transition Consultant.
The site was done in Flash and coded using ActionScript 3.0. It loads data externally from XML and also uses external Flash Videos throughout. It takes advantage of several new features found in ActionScript 3 and is an excellent example of the robust and scalable applications that can be created with Flash nowadays.
You can view the site here in English.
