Flash Olympic Games Dynamic Countdown Timer Template for Digital Signage

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

There was much excitement in the London press a few weeks ago about the Olympic Games being only two years away. About the same time I was asked by a friend for a bit of ‘dynamic countdown’ creative that they could use to test their screens with ahead of a countdown campaign that was launching across UK digital screen networks in early September.

So, like a man who has a couple of anorexic girlfriends, I thought this was a good ‘two birds one stone’ situation (that joke was pinched from Dave Gibson BTW).

I made use of the dynamic countdown code from the excellent flash programming site here.

3D Clock Effect for Digital Signage

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

This takes the sample code from Clock 1 and fudges a 3D rotation of the face onto a more sophisticated creative background. It was only intended for use on low res LED screens, and I don’t think this would be suitable for a HD LCD screen.

Dynamic Clock Code for Digital Signage

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

This little sample is a great way to understand the basics of coding in Flash.

It takes input from your PC clock and converts the numerical time by drawing lines to the right length and angle (vector) to simulate clock hands. A nice subtle bit of advertising too.
