Pseudo Code for Flash Final Project:

Create flash player that dynamically loads movies from a database (communication with perl/php)

• When swf is called it looks for a specific variable id that is passed into it from perl/php for the particular movie clip that the user clicks on from the thumbnail in the forum or profile or the most recent uploaded movie clip.

Create ui components that allow the user to input comments/tags that are inserted into a database.
• When the mouse clicks on the video, the video stops and the current frame that the video is on and this frame is recorded.
• The comment/tag box pops up and allows the user to input text.
• The user can either submit the necessary information or cancel and go back to watching the movie
• If the submit button is pressed, the information is checked to make sure that it is inputted correctly and then is sent to a perl/php file which inserts the information into the database.
• The information will appear as markers on a timeline underneath the movie
• If the user mouses over one of the markers it will tell the user that it is a tag or comment.
• If the user clicks on the marker it will jump the movie to that frame and pop up the tag or comment that the user inputted.
• There will also be a respond box that pops up so that other users can respond to comments.

The swf file will be embedded into the html of the freeformed profiles/forums.
