A look back…
Marty February 14th, 2007
I’m currently working on a project for a hemophilia product from a major pharmaceutical company. In the midst of working on it, there is a reference to another product that triggered a memory of a past project - one that I did when I was working for Waresoft. Back then, it was a project coming up with a combination of Flash, HTML and JavaScript tools for Humate-P, made by ZLB Behring.
In this project, I was tasked to do three things:
- Update a flash animation comparing Humate-P and other products
- Create a dosing calculator that allowed a user to put in their weight and the amount of Van Willebrand factor (VWF) they wanted in the bloodstream
- Create handy chart for the doctors to see a complete list of comparable weight and VWF levels
Well, since I was thinking about the old project, I went to see how it was looking - and it’s up and running on their site. It works pretty well, too. You can see the different aspects of it here:
Humate-P Densitometric Analysis - click on the “Click here” link at the top of the page to launch Flash.
Granted, I only adapted and improved the first, and got a TON of help from Van in creating the JavaScript for the Dosage Calculator, but I think it turned out pretty well. I remember that trying to sync up the voice and animation in Flash was a major nightmare; ironically, knowing Flash 8 a little better now, I realize that there was a much easier way to do it than I did. Oh well, stuff happens.
Aahhh, the salad days…
