New Flash Poll system

[msimonds]

I am almost finished with the developement of a flash+php+mysql poll system!

It will have its own admin area to create, modify, open, close, and store polls

here is an example of how it will function:

I will incorporate this into my vbadvanced site: http://www.uoptoday.com and then post the instructions here and the system


Please let me know. It is still in Beta though, will come with 3 skins and instructions

I want to get some feedback before i think about releasing it

[bluesteel]

Looks good to me msimonds. Will def be interested when done.

[msimonds]

right on!!! I hope to have it full operational on my vbadvanced site by Monday or Tuesday at the latest, once that is done then I will release it here!!!


the skin that you see is just for testing, I know that width needs to be improved and the skin and text are to small

I will keep this upto date

[Blaminator]

Just wahat i was looking for!

[hani]

Great
I hop it would work with Arabic though as Flash hates Arabic

Hi BlueSteel, I have sent you a PM. I hope you can help me with my question

Thanx all

I was testing some more functions of this poll system. There will not be any other languages sorry!!

There is an error with it right now, I am working to get it corrected, it is just an expansion thing

More later

[Viks]

looks cool.

waiting for release..

[Ras Masta]

That is one of the most awesome hacks I have seen here.

This looks like fun.

When you implement it, it would be more useful and flexible to be able to make the poll selection by specific poll id, (or to select at random from a range of poll ids), rather than by selecting a forum number, as the current poll module works.

The mod for that is described here:

I subscribed to this topic. Nice poll mod! Waiting for this...

[Frankenberrie]

Excellent!! I want this!!

[msimonds]

Just an update! The first release with the three skins will be finished and ready by Monday, 10/25

I want to make something clear though right up front. This poll system will be a SEPERATE system and will not work with the forums. I am going to add it so it will show up as a block on vbadvanced, It will also work for regular html or php page.

The code to call this will be an <emd src> call to the actual flash poll!

I just want to make sure that everyone understands this!

I am sorry if some of you may have thought that this was an actual vb add on!


I will post screen shots of the new skins in a few days, as they are released, The .fla source will also come with these, so if you are any good at flash, you can modify the pages as needed

Thanks

Mike

Outstanding!!! I like it.

[msimonds]

some one voted, needs work, if this is so

then let me know what needs work on it, that is the only way that I can make it better

[C_P]

VERY nice

[moley]

looks great good job.

[msimonds]

if members here are voting on that poll and stating that it needs work, can you please tell me what it needs. That is the only way that I can get it improved. I would really appreciate that

I voted outstanding. The percentages are a little hard to read. I really like the animation.

1) I don't think the percentages need to carry 2 decimal points of precision if they are practically illegible. Probably better to round it to the nearest integer and make them big enough to read.

2) It might be interesting to make the bars different colors. I don't know why.

3) Is there a sound when you submit your vote? I might have missed it, but that would be cool too.

4) Q: What happens in that module if they don't have Flash?

I am looking forward to trying this.
