This is a very short turn-around project: Flash / Actionscript implementation of a directed graph based on input from an XML file.
XML will contain:
- id
- x,y location
- short text name
- reference to a .gif/jpg
- list of nodes to connect to (by id)
- description text field to show on mouse-over
The graph should draw nodes and connecting lines within a defined space and all nodes should be movable by selecting and dragging with the mouse - as should the lines that connect any given nodes. Upon mouse-over, a box/frame around a node must change color (red) and the box/frames around gifs/jpgs of adjacent nodes should change color (yellow) when an attached node is clicked or receives a mouse ??"over event.
Bonus will be available for a solution that provides a slider that allows the graph to zoom in and out.
Additional bonus for ability to ignore provided (x,y) and build auto-generated layout.
## Deliverables
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment.
b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request.
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement).
## Platform
This needs to run on any Flash-enabled browser (Flash 5 or above) but this could be negotiable if older versions impose constraints that make the solution harder / more expensive / harder to port to future Flash 8.
