This site was still done with Flash 4, because it was still too early to expect a high adoption rate of Flash 5. So I used the experience I gained from programming in Flash 5 to try to push Flash 4 to the limit with dynamically created menus and content. Because a lot of things still had to be updated manually, I tried to make it as simple as possible, especially because I refused to update the site myself.
The coolest thing about the site were the car galleries which featured custom animations for each car. For the x06 series, each car was set against an abstract background and then the rest of the image was built up in 4 steps based on the user’s actions. For the x07 series, the car was set in an enviroment and then the enviroment came alive in 4 different ways based on the user’s actions. Completely unnecessary, but at least it made some use of the huge space the car’s picure took up and it made the site extra cool.
One other achievement was the Flash interface for the accessories store. I don’t think that had been done before. The biggest challenge was creating an easy system to manually update the product thumbnails. Luckily, the product line didn’t change very often.
