SHOCKWAVES HAIR PRODUCTS
Each one of the hair products had a detailed product entry in the database, image, price, description, hair type, usage, tips etc. There were six groups of products, and search functionality. The product photos / graphics were animated with a programmatic tween engine.
The site was built with the intention of adding new graphics and videos after launch, so that it could expand. The video section contained videos showing hairstylist M.Douglas, cutting hair and giving hair tips.
ACTIONSCRIPT
This was a big site, by Flash standards of the day. There was a large product catalogue with product images, descriptions, usage instructions, tips.
Flash / Actionscript 2
The website was entirely Flash run, and while it was a large site, with many products, it ran really well. All the animations were programmatically done via tweeting engines, there weren’t any timeline based swf’s, and all the assets were dynamically loaded via XML.
XML
All graphical assets were dynamically loaded and formatted at runtime. All the graphics for products were XML driven and could be changed by editing the external XML file. The layout and typography were dynamic too, so no extra Flash editing was necessary when adding or changing the products. All videos, graphics, products could be changed with no Flash editing.
HTML
There was the minimum of html handling the Flash file positioning, and player version detection.
TECHNOLOGY
The site was built entirely around Flash, and was probably one of the last Flash-only site I built..

OVERVIEW
Next morning the not-yet-subsided sea rolled in long slow billows of mighty bulk, and striving in the Pequod’s gurgling track, pushed her on like giants’ palms outspread. The strong, unstaggering breeze abounded so, that sky and air seemed vast outbellying sails; the whole world boomed before the wind. Muffled in the full morning light, the invisible sun was only known by the spread intensity of his place; where his bayonet rays moved on in stacks. Emblazonings, as of crowned Babylonian kings and queens, reigned over everything. The sea was as a crucible of molten gold, that bubblingly leaps with light and heat.
