Brief is very simple, a bit long. Please read in full.

1. First of all, we want a clone of the website found here : www.duckraid.com/wip/by_hook.htm

This site is pure AS3 with deeplinking. The only elements created in Flash (ie authored or imported) are the logo and horse in the preloader. It's XML based with deeplinking. Feel free to browse it to see how it works. You can also download an offline version here: www.duckraid.com/wip/download

2. Having said all of the above, we will need some additional options and tweaks

2.A Tweaks

2.A.1 Hovering over a project will give the user a visual clue that he's about to click on that project

2.A.2 When the project is open, a close or X or something similar should open to allow for the user to close the project instead of clicking outside

2.A.3 We want the ability to load an external SWF or graphic in the top left corner to cater for specific events (XMAS for example, where we could load an SWF of a hat or bells, etc....) through XML

2.B Options/Extras

2.B.1 For the sake of clarity, we will name the website we've been describing so far "Project_Module_X" where x is a number. The sitemap of our website will be as follows:

MainPage with follwing icons / buttons:


1. ArchViz


2. TVC


3. Print

Each one of these buttons will have a unique color, defined in an XML file (color and text).


Clicking on button_1 will take us to an instance of Project_Module_1. The background of that instance will be the same color as the button, and all content will be relevant to that button (architectural viz work).


Click on button 2 and you will go to instance 2 of that module (TVC), etc....


So basically we have 3 copies of that website (in our example here). If for any reason we added another category ("Interactive" for example) we need to be able to do that in XML. All we will have to do is add a new entry in the XML for a new category, and copy the relevant folder structure to add its content.

So to Summarize we will have 4 XML files:


1. one relative to general content (About us, contact us, etc...)


2. one with general customization options: size of the "category" buttons, width of the frame, all detail will be given in due time.


3. one that holds the different project categories (ArchViz, TVC, Print, etc...) with their names and colors


4. one which is a project template that holds the info for each category (all projects, with text, images, videos, etc....) and that use the color defined in XML number 3. Of course if we have 3 categories defined in XML number 3, we will have 3 XML files of the one we're talking about here, each one with a name corresponding to its category.

2.B.2 Once you are inside a category a menu will appear on the top left to be able to navigate to other categories. Also we will have in this menu items like "contact us" and "our services".

All reference designs will be provided with measurements in Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop or Flash depending on your preference.

Of course, needless to say that we also need all Flash source code (FLA, AS) files provided with the delivery.

I've tried to be as detailed as possible to be able to get an accurate quotation/estimate.

Feel free to ask for more detail.
