Scripting Presentation instead of Flash
Hi,
I am working for a client who was wants to make a presentation for a flour mill. In it we have to show all the process from truck in the factory, sampling, lab testing, truck weight with grain, dumping of it and then truck wieight without grain. Then the issuance of weight tickets and then on exit the invoices.
Initially we decided that it will be flash representation but now the client is saying to do it in scripting as the flash will take time to load and he don't want it.
Now can you tell me if its possible through scripting? And if yes then how??? There is the flow diagram and have to make the presentation as it is.. Like the truck will travel on accepted arrows and the rejected arrow will be in red redirecting to the Exit.
Please let me know ASAP.
Thanks.

Yes... actually what the client is thinking is the flash may take about 100 KB for presentation and for normal dial up users it will take time to download. And he don't want it. Thats why he don't want it. He just gave me the idea not to make full animation. Just make the truck appear and then disappear while apperaring after some distance. I don't know what we say it programitically but in simple language you can say blinking. And every time blinking on some place else...
Do you have any idea how is it possible?

I think that the movement will deal with x and y axis. So how to do it???
Suggestions???

Hi again,
You could place the truck image on a layer and move the layer using JavaScript! The flowchart would be an image in the back.
Still i think that a Flash (including vector drawings, animations and preloader) would have a smaller filesize than the big flowchart-image and the truck-image together!

Well, you can make something like this using transitions and blends:

it's working with layers blending in eachother. When the browser doesn't support it, there will be a simple change of picture and link.

what do you mean with "... as the flash will take time to load"?
If the presentation is going to be on the web, it will take to load anyway. All the images (Truck, Flowchart) would take time to load too.
The advantage of Flash are the vector graphics which are keeping the size small.
I would recommend you Flash, but i think id would be possible in javascript.
