Event/Attractions Planner

Content

I’m currently developing a tourist based website and would like to have the feature of showing a list of events and attractions that are able to be dragged and dropped into a field for a particular day of the week. Hence creating a holiday planner.

I’ve found a perfect example of what I’m wanting to do, this is lunchbox planner but I envisage mine working very similar. Go to the woolworths(dot com dot au) website, click on ‘Fresh Food Kids’ and then click the 'Lunchbox planner. (I am unable to post a direct link as I am a first time contributor to the forum!).

I want the ability to also print out the weeks plan as the above site does.

I understand it has been done in Flash. I have basic skills in Flash.
Just wondering there is already a script out there for a similar type of thing?

Any comments or helpful hints on how to replicate something similar to the above link would be appreciated.

You’ll need a good grasp of actionscript to emulate the lunchbox planner, It would probably be quite an ambitious project for a beginner. You’re unlikely to find a similar script as it’s quite a specialised device. If you break it down into small chunks you may be able to emulate it have a look at how to do:

  • dragging movieclips
  • hit testing
  • populating dynamic textfields and dynamically adding movieclips to stage
  • printing stage content
