FreeTV / Freeview Yahoo Widget
by Scott King on Jan.20, 2009, under ActionScript, Flash, PHP, Widgets
So this is the second widget I’ve created for FreeTV, this time for the Yahoo! Desktop platform (having previously completed the Google Desktop Widget). Although it was a replication of the Google version, it required a complete ground-up rebuild for implementation with the Yahoo! API, build time was just under 2 days.
These widgets deliver information and statistics on Australias top rated TV programs and channels right to your desktop.
It utilises the same custom CMS and XML feed I built for the Google Widget, allowing the client to upload a pre-formatted excel spreadsheet into the CMS to populate the XML feed with their data.

Midori’s “Blend a Bartender”
by Scott King on Jan.20, 2009, under ActionScript, Flash, PHP, Past Work, SEO
This is a new section I put together for the Midori Welcome to Greenland web site which we built a while back, this was built with Jonathan Miranda doing a fantastic job on the design.
This new section allows you to create your very own bartender out of an array of parts including body type, hair type, skin tone – you can even give your bartender some bling!
It features advanced deeplinking functions, a Send To Friend function that allows you to send your “perfect bartender” to an unsuspecting friend and flv playback.

Skins – True Spirit of Competition
by Scott King on Jan.18, 2009, under ActionScript, Design, Flash, Papervision
This is another site to utilise extensive use of Papervision, This was a fun site with a great design, originally designed as a media portal site to YouTube it grew into a full social blog type web site where users can register and add their own comments about a particular video.
The pièce de résistance for me is the Papervision, I did several concepts for the 3D interface and I was happy when the client decided to run with this particular version.
