Today's Local Scene

This is a feature created for eventful.com to run on Ripple TV – an out of home advertising network of digital screens, placed in retail establishments nationwide.

This project was developed in flash using AS3 and XML. It displays the 3 closest evenful listings from 4 categories. The locations are chosen dynamically and delivered to the flash in an XML feed. The largest hurdle was displaying text with widely varying string lengths in a finite amount of space. For that I extended the TextField class to include a sizeTextToFit method.
