Geographic Information Systems in Flash, Gramercy Park, 7/7/2004, 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM
Jim Armstrong, 2112 F/X
GIS (Geographic Information Systems) applications often involve interactive display and decision support based on geo-coded (latitude-longitude) data. This session provides an overview of dynamic mapping and plotting of such data. In this session, Armstrong deconstructs an actual XML-driven application, "3D Artists Around the World." The dynamic, data-driven nature of the application requires all animation to be scripted, so a general-purpose extension of the MovieClip class is explored, along with application planning, production issues, and AS 2 Class architecture, including the use of message-passing to choreograph animations.
Armstrong is a freelance 3D animator whose clients range from Boeing and The Sabre Group to Temerlin McClain. With a background in mathematics and aerospace engineering, he has worked on applications ranging from large-scale business decision analytics to plugins for high-end 3D software packages. Armstrong is now developing GIS (Geographic Information Systems) in ActionScript 2.
