Black Dot Cinema - A Flex Demo, Phase 2

This is part three in a series. You can read the first, posts here and here. You can see phase one of my application here

Phase two is here.

Phase two utilises the Flex Scheduling Component to show the movie sessions in time and space. Clicking the movie launches an overlay displaying the movie details, preview and ticket purchase form.

This is really my first foray into trying out the Flex effects in an attempt to give some "style" to the application and move away from the vanilla Flex components.

As with other Flex projects I have undertaken my biggest concern always revolves around UI design and once again I reach for my "Designing Interfaces?" book.

P.S. - The movie schedule is totally random in that it is built internally from an XML file containing movie meta data including the movie duration. Therefore you probably won't see the same schedule even when you revisit the same day. Obviously a real life application would load real data.

Jason's Gravatar Hi Wayne, looks like a nice concept. Are you planning on selling it to greater union or agregating all of the cinemas and running it as your own project?
