We are looking for a Flash developer/programmer to create a simple Flash-based ticker (which will pull it’s data from an XML file) and a “counter” which will contain the total number of days, and hours, in which two whales have been in captivity. Please take a look at the two graphics which have been attached to this project (EndTheShow_Counters.gif & EndTheShow_WhaleTicker_copy.gif).
These files will be used for an anti-captivity website advocating for the protection, and possible release, of marine mammals in captivity. The ticker will contain a list of names of captive whales, along with the dates of their death (if applicable). The information for the ticker should be contained within an XML file. The counter will count the total number of days, and hours, in which two killer whales have been held captive. The counter should auto-increment each hour, and each day, providing an accurate tally. The following is a list of dates in which both counters should start:
Lolita: 08/11/1970 (start at 12:00AM)
Corky: 12/12/1969 (start at 12:00AM)
Additionally, with regards to the counters, there should be a simple way to end each one of the counters, in the instance that one of the whales should die; thus ending the counter for that animal.
Once the Flash objects have been created, I need the developer to create single XHTML template using both the Flash objects and the attached PSD file. The PSD file will need to be sliced in order to create the template.
Please note that we are a small non-profit organization, and as such, we have very limited funds. We are willing to provide a tax-deductible receipt for services rendered to the provider in addition to agreed upon costs to help offset the budget constraints.
If you require additional information, or would like to further discuss this project, please open communications with us using the PMB system.
